Charline Gaskin, LPC - Therapist in Connecticut

About Charline

Charline Gaskin is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship struggles. She uses a collaborative, client-centered style and focuses on practical skills parents and families can use right away. Charline keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented so busy caregivers can fit therapy into their lives.

She draws on five years of work with children, teens, adults, older adults, couples, and families. That background informs her approach to family and parenting concerns as well as individual issues like self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Charline also addresses substance use, ADHD, and compassion fatigue in her practice. Her clinical toolbox includes cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, and acceptance and commitment therapy. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and client-centered methods to help people learn new ways of coping.

These methods are taught in plain language and practiced during sessions. Sessions aim to build insight and practical coping strategies. Clients learn skills for communication, emotion regulation, and problem solving that fit daily family life.

Work in therapy is paced to each person and to what their schedule allows. Charline practices in Connecticut and offers services in English. She holds the LPC credential and has the state license number CT LPC 46.009358.

Her model centers on respect, collaboration, and helping families find workable changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online family work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values. It can be useful for parents and individuals feeling stuck by anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through clear exercises and practice between sessions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress in daily family life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person or family about goals and preferences, then use one or a mix of approaches that fit. That collaborative process means methods are adjusted as needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options for busy families. Video or phone sessions are good for longer conversations and skill practice. Live chat and text messaging can help with quick check-ins, brief coaching, or follow-up between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit regular therapy into a parenting schedule and to keep progress moving forward.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
