About Lorrie

Lorrie Gaskins is an LPC with seven years of clinical experience who emphasizes a client-centered approach to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She creates a welcoming environment where clients’ feelings and concerns can be explored without judgment, supporting work on family conflict, grief and loss, anger management, and self-esteem. Her practice includes attention to mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, postpartum and pregnancy-related concerns, and ADHD among other focus areas.

Drawing on trauma-focused methods when appropriate, she helps individuals process past hurts and develop practical coping strategies for day-to-day challenges like parenting, career stress, and relationship strain. Lorrie also addresses more specific issues including communication problems, impulsivity, fertility-related stress, and disruptive mood concerns.

Based in Virginia, she brings an empathic, collaborative style aimed at helping clients identify goals and build sustainable skills for managing emotions and improving overall functioning.

Integrating Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused Care Online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance that helps clients explore their feelings and define personal goals; this approach is useful for concerns like stress, relationship strain, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing traumatic experiences and reducing their emotional impact, making it appropriate for post-traumatic stress, abuse-related distress, and related symptoms.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts methods over time so treatment matches what is most helpful for the individual. This collaborative planning helps shape both short-term coping strategies and longer-term therapeutic work.

Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility when in-person visits are not possible. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from home, fit therapy into busy schedules, and continue work consistently across life changes, while maintaining the therapeutic focus on client needs and healing.
