Lorrie Gaskins , LPC

Lorrie Gaskins is licensed in Virginia as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 6 years of professional experience helping people navigate family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and anger management. She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where clients can share thoughts and feelings honestly and begin to explore practical ways to cope and heal. Her work centers on collaboration - partnering with each person to clarify goals and identify steps that support healthier relationships and improved emotional regulation. Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and she acknowledges and honors that bravery while providing steady guidance through difficult moments. Lorrie aims to help clients build skills for managing strong emotions and navigating life transitions, meeting each person where they are and tailoring support to their individual needs.

Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused Care Online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and supports the client's own insights and choices. This approach is useful for people seeking stronger self-understanding, improved communication, and support through life transitions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping individuals process and recover from traumatic experiences by addressing symptoms, building coping strategies, and gradually integrating difficult memories in a paced way. It is commonly used for those struggling with the effects of abuse, loss, or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lorrie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow clients to connect from familiar settings, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
