About Lorrie
Lorrie Gaskins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia. She focuses on creating a straightforward, accepting space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting concerns. Her approach aims to make the first steps of reaching out feel manageable and supported.
She uses client-centered techniques to follow each person's pace and priorities. That means conversations shape the work rather than a fixed script. Lorrie also draws on trauma-focused therapy to address the effects of past hurt and abuse, helping people untangle painful memories from day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Past work has included support for anger, family conflict, and coping with major life changes. She also helps people dealing with mood and anxiety disorders, postpartum depression, ADHD-related struggles, and issues around self-esteem and relationships. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical next steps.
Lorrie has seven years of overall experience as a counselor in Virginia. She communicates plainly and listens for what matters most to each person. Her practice aims to help clients feel more capable in daily life and parenting roles.
People who choose to work with her can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone. Conversations explore emotions and behaviors, and then identify small changes that fit into busy schedules. She encourages clients to move at a comfortable pace while working toward clearer coping strategies.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Lorrie uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on following what the client brings to each session and responding with understanding and practical support. This approach helps when the immediate goal is clearer communication, managing stress, or finding parenting strategies that actually fit day-to-day life.She also uses trauma-focused therapy to address the effects of past hurt. That work often involves gently processing difficult memories and building step-by-step coping skills to reduce their impact on routines and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs, adjusting as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together what feels most useful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping ideas, or fitting support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to choose what works best for scheduling and comfort.
