About Lorri

Lorri Stiles is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience in Virginia. She began her career working with children and families and has built practical skills in behavior support and therapy. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, grief, trauma, and life changes.

Her background also includes support for compassion fatigue and addiction concerns. In session she keeps things straightforward. She treats people as experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

She offers clear strategies for managing anxiety, mood struggles, and relationship or family tensions. Conversations are grounded and action-oriented, not full of jargon. Lorri draws on evidence-based techniques to address grief, trauma, and coping skills.

She uses behavior-focused methods when habits and routines need to change. She works with clients to set small, achievable goals and practices that can be used between sessions. Her experience includes work with a wide range of concerns such as depression, bipolar symptoms, self-esteem, body image, and eating issues.

She also brings experience related to adoption and foster care, attachment issues, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness, and sexual diversity topics. These areas are woven into practical treatment plans rather than abstract theory. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Lorri aims to make each step clear so people feel safer taking the next one. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their routine.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting support

She frequently uses evidence-based trauma-informed strategies to help people process loss and painful experiences. These approaches focus on teaching skills for emotional regulation and safety, and they can be useful for grief, trauma, and strong emotional reactions.

She also applies behavior-focused techniques that break down habits and routines into workable steps. That kind of work helps when parenting goals, daily caregiving, or coping with chronic stress require practical changes and repeated practice.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist asks about your goals, daily life, and what has or hasnt worked before. Together you choose techniques and adjust the plan as needed so it fits your needs and schedule.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow flexible scheduling and continued work from home or while traveling. They make it easier to fit sessions around family life and to use quick check-ins when issues come up between appointments.
