Lorianne Martin, LPC

Lorianne Martin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. She offers both in-person and online sessions to make therapy accessible to people who cannot come into an office. She focuses on practical steps and straightforward conversation to help people move forward.

Her work centers on relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Lorianne draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core method while also using Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy where helpful. Sessions emphasize clear goals and everyday tools rather than abstract jargon.

Clients can expect a calm, honest style. Lorianne invites people to describe their everyday struggles and past events that still cause pain. She then helps break problems into manageable steps and builds a tailored set of coping skills to use between sessions.

Her background includes long-term clinical work and experience supporting caregivers and people facing chronic illness and disability. That lived experience informs compassionate, realistic planning when medical, caregiving, or aging issues affect daily life.

Lorianne prioritizes collaboration. She works with each person to set achievable goals, track progress, and adjust the plan when needed. The approach is practical, steady, and focused on improving how life feels day to day.

How Lorianne Uses Practical Approaches Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real life. It involves simple exercises and behavior experiments that people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change patterns that cause conflict.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps and wants help clarifying goals and building motivation.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend tools and methods that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most in everyday life.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match practical needs. Video calls are good for real-time conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging are useful for short updates, homework check-ins, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible for work schedules, caregiving duties, or travel.
