Getting to know Lorraine Landau
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the states of New York and Connecticut. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). By focusing on achieving concrete goals, we can navigate challenges and foster meaningful growth.
I emphasize Marriage and Family Therapy, having trained at The Center for Family Learning. I firmly believe that our lives are intricately intertwined with the systems we belong to, whether they contribute to our growth and well-being or pose challenges. This perspective increases our understanding of how these systems can influence individuals in both healthy and unhealthy ways.
When I am not working, I can be found playing outdoor sports according to the seasons, reading, and creating rock gardens. To relieve stress, I laugh often — most frequently at myself. I would love to pursue an additional career as a stand-up comedian. Humor and exercise are powerful ways of coping.
I am affiliated with the National Board for Certified Counselors and the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals, and I am a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist. With over 30 years of experience in the helping professions, I bring both experience and expertise to my work.
I also hold additional certifications from the American Council on Exercise as a Medical Exercise Specialist, Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant, and Personal and Group Trainer. This expertise provides me with extensive knowledge in the health-related field. The mind and body work together.
As an active and attentive listener, I genuinely enjoy supporting my clients in their journey of self-discovery and the development of personal goals. It is truly inspiring to witness improvements in your self-esteem, confidence, and coping skills — all the result of your hard work. We should not have to go through life’s challenges alone. I look forward to working with you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
