About Lorri
Lorri Stiles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and life transitions. Lorri draws on her background in behavior-focused work to offer practical, down-to-earth support.
Her early career involved work with children and families and developing skills in behavior modification. Those experiences shaped an interest in clear, usable strategies that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
She believes each person brings strengths and knowledge that guide the work. In sessions she emphasizes collaborative problem solving. Conversations often include steps you can try between meetings and ways to notice small changes.
Lorri aims to make therapy feel like a partnership where goals are concrete and progress is reviewed together. She also helps people coping with compassion fatigue, addictions, body image, caregiver stress, and relationship or family strain. Her approach is flexible so the work can match the problem at hand, whether that is grief, mood concerns, or adjusting after loss.
Lorri speaks English and provides care through several remote formats. The first appointment includes a short assessment and planning so you and she can agree on goals and next steps.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Evidence-based techniques often used in behavior-focused care teach concrete skills to change how you respond in daily situations. One common approach involves behavior modification methods that identify triggers, set small measurable goals, and practice new responses; this can help with parenting challenges, anxiety, and mood concerns. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed coping strategies that focus on grounding, safety in pacing, and building tolerance for difficult memories or feelings; these techniques support people dealing with trauma, grief, and compassion fatigue. Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will invite your input about what feels helpful, review how different strategies fit your goals, and adapt plans based on your feedback. That collaborative process helps make sure techniques match your needs and the pace you prefer. Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversations while staying where you are, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick way to check in between sessions, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection and brief updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving schedules and to try approaches in real-world moments.Questions people ask about Lorri
