About Lorianne
Lorianne Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. She focuses on relationship challenges, family stress, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She offers online options for people who cannot come in person and aims to make starting therapy less intimidating.
Martin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary approach and pairs it with motivational interviewing and trauma-focused work when useful. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented.
Background and approach
She helps people name patterns, try new coping skills, and practice small changes between meetings. Her background includes long-term work with caregivers and people facing chronic illness, cancer, and disability, and with those navigating blended-family and attachment issues. She also has experience related to autism and supports parents managing developmental concerns.
That experience shapes a pragmatic, flexible style in sessions. Martin describes her method as open and collaborative. She listens without judgment and helps each person build a tailored plan.
She often offers concrete tools and step-by-step skills to manage symptoms and improve communication. Outside of practice she brings personal experience of caregiving and family medical challenges to her work. That perspective informs her empathy and problem-solving.
She welcomes conversations about practical next steps and how therapy can fit into a busy life.
How these approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include clear skill practice, worksheets, and short between-session tasks to build new habits. Motivational Interviewing centers on helping people find their own reasons to change; online conversations can help clarify goals and overcome ambivalence through guided questions and reflective listening.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing past traumatic events in a paced way and building coping skills for triggers and strong emotions. When offered online it can include grounding exercises, stabilization work, and collaborative planning for safety and pacing. Finding the right approach is part of the process; the therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress happens.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video is good for full sessions with visual cues. Phone can be helpful when a quieter space or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options increase flexibility so therapy can move forward around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
