Lorraine Poole, LPC, LMHC

Lorraine Poole is a licensed professional counselor who brings a straightforward, compassionate approach to therapy. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials and has five years of clinical experience. Lorraine focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those facing life transitions and struggles with addictive behaviors.

She aims to make sessions a place where people can speak honestly. Lorraine works to build an open atmosphere without judgment. She encourages small steps and practical strategies that fit into everyday life.

In sessions she helps clients name what feels most urgent and then break problems into manageable parts. Lorraine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address negative thinking, build coping skills, and restore motivation. Conversations often include practice between sessions so progress can continue outside therapy.

She has experience working with clients through common life changes like job shifts, relationship shifts, and changes in routine. Lorraine pays attention to how stress and habits affect mood and behavior, and she helps people try different strategies until something fits.

Getting started is framed as a collaborative process. Lorraine listens first, and then she and the client set simple goals together. She reminds new clients that reaching out is a brave first step and supports them in moving forward one session at a time.
