About Lorinda

Lorinda Stark is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Tennessee with six years of experience. She works with people who are stressed, anxious, struggling with low self-esteem, facing depression, or managing life changes. She also supports those coping with addictions, trauma, grief, and attention-related concerns.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens without judgment and helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions focus on building skills for everyday life and increasing motivation to make changes people want.

Lorinda uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help finding inner reasons to change.

In sessions she leans on client-centered principles, giving space for people to lead the conversation while offering concrete tools. She can help with relationship communication issues, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and worries tied to life purpose or isolation.

Her background in social work informs a focus on practical supports and realistic plans. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and are billed through a cancellable subscription model.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction. Online sessions using ACT often focus on practical exercises and brief behavioral experiments between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions this often looks like setting small, realistic tasks, reviewing what happened, and adjusting plans together. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She will adapt techniques based on what the client prefers and how they respond over time. Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online delivery methods. Ask about the available options so you can choose one that fits your schedule, internet and camera needs, and the length of time you can commit. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed.
