About Lorraine
Lorraine Bennett is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and problems with self-esteem. She supports those coping with grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, career transitions, and life changes. Lorraine also focuses on post-traumatic stress and compassion fatigue in her work.
She grew up in Detroit and earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from Aquinas College. Early in her career she led psycho-educational groups in the inner city of Grand Rapids, teaching skills that promote independence and resilience.
Background and approach
Those community roles shaped how she approaches therapy today. Lorraine founded Celebrate Life Foundation, a nonprofit created to share practical ways to improve health and well-being. She is also the CEO of Life Without Flaws, LLC, which offers counseling and consulting services.
These projects reflect her interest in combining education with direct support. In independent practice she blends practical strategies with a holistic outlook. She pays attention to spiritual, physical, and emotional aspects of problems so clients can build sustainable coping skills.
Sessions tend to be direct and collaborative, focusing on clear steps people can use between meetings. Lorraine has six years of counseling experience and holds LPC credentials in Michigan and Texas. She works with adults and accepts clients across state lines, offering sessions in English to fit different schedules and needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is shared, and helps people clarify their goals and values so they can take practical steps forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new coping skills to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress-related symptoms.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or adapt methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than presuming a single way works for everyone.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when screen time is practical, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for brief updates or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings.
