About Lorrie
Lorrie Gaskins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who uses a client-centered approach to help people manage strong emotions and move forward. She focuses on creating a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about anger, grief, trauma, and everyday stresses. She listens first to understand each person's story and priorities.
Sessions are aimed at helping people name difficult feelings, spot patterns that keep problems going, and try small changes that feel doable.

Client-centered and trauma-focused care online
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s perspective first. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that matter to them. This approach works well for emotional regulation, relationship concerns, and everyday stressors because it builds on what already works for the client.Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on the effects of past harm and how it shows up now. Work in this area helps people process difficult memories and learn coping tools to reduce reactivity, manage panic, and handle reminders of traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lorrie collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts strategies when something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when someone prefers shorter written exchanges. These options make it easier to get consistent care without major travel or schedule changes.
