Support in the District
There can be more to you than being the person who handles it.
When much of your day is spent responding, deciding, or supporting others, it can be difficult to know what you need yourself. You may be effective in a demanding role and still feel anxious, worn down, or disconnected. Therapy creates room to consider the person behind those responsibilities.
Lorraine Richardson, LCSW, offers virtual psychotherapy for adults physically located in Washington, D.C., under license #LC200004976. Services are online, not provided from a local office. Adults in any part of the District can inquire, with telehealth suitability and the clinician’s availability considered before care is accepted.
The first step does not require a diagnosis or a carefully rehearsed story. You can describe what has become difficult: constant pressure, trouble resting, a caregiving role that has expanded, or grief you have had little space to acknowledge. The conversation can start with what you know and leave room for what is still unclear.
The work, together
Practical support without minimizing the personal
Professional stress may involve the pressure to remain composed, uncertainty about decisions, or a sense that every task carries high stakes. Together, we can explore how those demands interact with anxiety, expectations, and the ways you judge yourself. Boundaries and coping strategies are considered within your real circumstances.
For caregivers, there is room to name fatigue and conflicting feelings without reducing your experience to a lack of resilience. Care and frustration can coexist. Therapy may help you think through role changes, requests for support, and the beliefs that make it hard to take your own needs seriously.
Loss can alter concentration, relationships, and familiar routines. It may also bring feelings that seem contradictory or difficult to share. Lorraine’s work is warm and culturally responsive, combining mindfulness, CBT, and ACT. Your goals guide the process; there is no promise of a prescribed outcome or a fixed timetable.

About Lorraine and her approachPlanning your care
Does D.C. care include nearby Maryland or Virginia?
These are separate licensing jurisdictions, even when a journey between them is short. Lorraine also holds Maryland license #35548 and Virginia license #0904020838, as well as licenses in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Tell the practice where you will be during each appointment so care can be arranged within the appropriate jurisdiction.
You can request a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss fit and practical questions. Private-pay and out-of-network sessions are $200, with superbills on request. Contact the practice about in-network insurance availability. Coverage and reimbursement depend on your plan, and the benefits checker supplies estimates rather than a guarantee of payment.
