About Lorrie
Lorrie Gaskins is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and ADHD-related concerns. She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what feels most urgent to them. She draws on trauma-focused methods when past hurt or abuse affects daily life.
That approach helps people name what happened, understand its impact, and build safer ways to cope.
Background and approach
Lorrie often combines this work with straightforward skills for managing intense emotions like anger and panic. Her practice supports people dealing with mood and impulsivity issues, fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, postpartum depression, and the practical strains of parenting. She also addresses career stress, social anxiety, and self-esteem problems in clear, step-by-step conversations rather than jargon-filled sessions.
With seven years of professional experience, she has helped clients navigate loss, displacement from disasters, and ongoing family conflict. Sessions tend to focus on identifying immediate, useful changes and practicing them between meetings. Lorrie aims to partner with each person she meets.
She listens first, then helps set goals that fit daily life. The focus is on small, workable steps that feel doable and on building skills people can use outside sessions.
How client-centered and trauma-focused work translates online
Client-centered therapy centers on listening, reflecting, and following the client's priorities to set goals and make changes. It helps with everyday stress, relationship strain, self-esteem, and ADHD-related challenges by focusing on what matters most to the person and practicing small steps between sessions. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of past hurt and abuse, helping people understand how those events shape feelings and behavior while teaching coping strategies to reduce intense reactions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will try methods that match your needs and adjust them as you go, so the work fits your life and moves at a comfortable pace.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. Video lets you use face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone calls can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick reflections, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing practice between sessions. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, or school while working toward their goals.
