About Lorrie
Lorrie Gaskins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia who uses a client-centered way of working. She focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can name what they’re feeling. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping parents and adults make clearer choices in stressful times.
Lorrie draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurts keep showing up in daily life. She helps people see how trauma or abuse may affect reactions and relationships, and then works with them on practical steps to feel steadier.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace that the person chooses. She has seven years of experience helping with family conflicts, grief and loss, and anger management. Lorrie also supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting concerns, and relationship strain.
She listens for patterns that cause repeated problems and helps the client try different ways of handling them. Her approach emphasizes clear communication and problem-solving. Conversations often include setting small goals, practicing new responses, and reflecting on what works.
Lorrie invites questions and checks in regularly to adjust the plan. Sessions are available through a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. This flexibility is offered to fit different schedules and comfort levels.
Lorrie encourages anyone who is unsure about therapy to take the first step and try a short conversation.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person’s priorities. The therapist creates a respectful space and follows the client’s lead to set goals and try new ways of handling problems. This approach is helpful for stress, relationship difficulties, and parenting concerns.Trauma-Focused Therapy looks directly at how past hurt influences present reactions and relationships. Work typically moves at a comfortable pace and uses practical tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping after trauma or abuse.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their situation, goals, and preferences and then suggest which approach or combination to try. Decisions are collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. These formats let people connect from home, schedule around children or work, and follow up between sessions when needed. The variety of options supports flexibility while keeping focus on the goals set in therapy.
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.
Trauma-Focused Therapy
Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
