About Lonnie

Dr. Lonnie Erskine is a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina with nine years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She focuses on a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem and motivation, depression, addictions, LGBT issues, intimacy-related concerns, eating and anger issues, career transitions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her practice also addresses related areas such as attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, and dissociation.

Dr. Erskine emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that encourages clients to explore thoughts and feelings openly.

She creates a supportive space where people can identify goals and build practical strategies for coping with life changes, managing symptoms, and improving relationships. Sessions draw on evidence-informed methods including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Recognizing that reaching out for help requires courage, Dr. Erskine aims to walk alongside clients through the process of change and growth.

Prospective clients in South Carolina who prefer English-language services can begin by following the platform’s intake steps to match and schedule sessions according to availability.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care

Dr. Erskine uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person’s own voice and goals, offering empathetic listening and support that helps clients feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, and behaviors. Mindfulness therapy techniques are also used to increase present-moment awareness and improve stress regulation through simple attention and breathing practices.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to consider their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and then adapts methods over time to find what proves most helpful. This flexible stance aims to match strategies to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer practical benefits like scheduling flexibility and easier access from home or work. These options allow continuing care around other commitments and make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions while working toward personal goals with a licensed professional.
