Lorinda Stark is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience. As an LCSW she has advanced training in social work and clinical practice, offering therapeutic support to adults facing a range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, address addictions and motivation concerns, and develop greater self-esteem and confidence. Her work emphasizes practical coping skills alongside personal insight to help clients navigate life transitions and difficult emotions.

Lorinda creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. She tailors care to each person, drawing on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing to match goals and preferences.

Recognizing that reaching out for help takes courage, she supports clients through the early steps of change and works collaboratively to build a more fulfilling, balanced life.

Approaches that guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take committed action toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress that interfere with daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through structured techniques and skill building. It is often applied for anxiety, depression, and problems with coping and motivation.

Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's perspective, offering empathy and support to help individuals explore their values and choices. This approach can benefit people seeking a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship.

Finding the right approach is part of the process - Lorinda partners with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists work together with clients to tailor care rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent care around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints and allow different formats for discussion, skill practice, or brief check-ins depending on what a client finds most helpful.
