About me

Hello and welcome to my virtual office. I am eager and excited to meet with you and help to resolve the issues that are creating difficulties in your life. I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience in diverse aspects of therapy. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with a concern related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication and boundaries with themselves and those around them to improve their quality of life.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session will include a meet and greet sharing the issues about why you are seeking therapy, discussing options, and allowing time to shar concerns. We will also discuss a plan of action to support your needs.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

The greatest strength I have to offer is honesty and years of educated experience in life which adds to my understanding of the issues experienced by clients' everyday challenges

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Let's be honest-starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication and boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help to improve their quality of life.

My treatment methods

Person-centered (Rogerian)

Person-centered is a type of non-directive therapy that is empathetically driven toward a safe space to talk, self-actualize, and make positive changes in your life. Some of the examples of clients who would benefit include those with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and transitions in life

Strength-Based

This method is a positive psychotherapy approach that focuses on a client's strengths and internal resources, rather than focusing on the weaknesses. It is based on the idea that clients can use their strengths to overcome challenges, improve relationships, and boost their well-being. It helps to empathize with what is right in your life rather than what is wrong. The goal is to help clients develop a positive mindset and build resilience.

Integrative

Integrative therapy is a personalized approach that combines techniques from multiple therapeutic schools of thought. It is based on the client'; needs and their expertise. The goal is designed to create a treatment plan that is tailored to the individual. This method can be useful for a variety of mental health conditions and psychological issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and stress.

I started with Lorraine many years ago during a rough time in my marriage and she has been a godsend for me. She is warm and personable and has given me many tools to navigate my anxiety and stress.

Dr. Dohrmann is my literal lifesaver! I have been seeing her for about 6 years now and it was truly the best decision I have ever made! She has challenged me to become a better me and I don't know where I would be without her. 1000% recommend!
