Lorraine Kenowski , LPC

Lorraine Kenowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut with 32 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, motivation challenges, self-esteem and confidence concerns, career difficulties, and depression. She draws on a strengths-based, client-centered philosophy that recognizes each person as the expert of their own story and emphasizes the strengths clients already possess to face and overcome obstacles.

Kenowski frames the work of therapy as a courageous step toward a more fulfilling and balanced life and offers supportive, empowering guidance during that process. As an LPC - a state license for providing professional mental health counseling - she uses collaborative conversation and practical strategies to help clients set goals, build resilience, and try new ways of coping with life’s demands.

Her practice centers on empowering individuals to take manageable steps toward change, improving confidence, and addressing the issues that interfere with daily functioning and well-being. Lorraine meets people where they are and partners with them to explore options, practice skills, and move toward meaningful personal goals.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and perspectives guide the work; this approach helps people feel heard and supported as they explore strengths and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based method that identifies unhelpful thought patterns and teaches strategies to change thinking and behavior - it is often used for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lorraine works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different approaches to tailor care to each person.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and easier access to sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it possible to connect from home, during breaks, or while traveling, supporting continuity of care and the ability to practice new skills in everyday settings.
