Lorianne Martin, LPC

Lorianne Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. She helps people facing relationship strain, family challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her style is direct and practical, focused on giving clients tools they can use between sessions.

She emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a starting point and combines it with motivational strategies and trauma-focused work when needed. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and understanding patterns that keep problems stuck. Conversations are meant to be honest and down-to-earth, not full of jargon.

Martin has experience supporting people managing complex caregiving situations, such as raising grandchildren and caring for family members with special needs. She also works with concerns like attachment issues, codependency, chronic illness and pain, body image, and aging-related stress. Her background includes practice with autism-related issues and helping people who suspect they or a family member may need assessment.

Her approach centers on collaboration. Clients map out where they are now and what a better next step looks like. Sessions typically include skills practice, behavioral experiments, and planning for real-life obstacles. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She combines professional experience with personal insight from family caregiving and medical challenges. That perspective shapes how she listens and offers practical strategies. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Lorianne’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce distress. It is practical and focused on skills you can practice between sessions, useful for depression, anxiety, and relationship patterns.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to build motivation for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help someone decide what matters most and take small steps toward those goals.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past traumatic events affect thoughts, emotions, and relationships. It includes strategies to reduce distress and to build coping tools for triggers and intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT and adding trauma-focused work or motivational techniques as progress unfolds.
