Lorrie Gaskins, LPC — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Lorrie!

My passion is working with individuals with relationship issues and life struggles, including anxiety, depression, and grief/loss. I work with mothers to empower them with a positive sense of self so they can be the best person for themselves and their families.

My focus

I have a high success rate in assisting clients with managing their anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and relationship issues.

My approach

I practice a client-centered, holistic approach when guiding clients through their therapeutic journey. I explore questions that motivate clients to discuss and explore emotions evoked by their concerns. I am a Christian and can incorporate Christian-based methods in sessions if desired.

My communication style

I provide services in a calming atmosphere free from distractions to allow the client to feel heard and valued. I provide an inclusive judgment-free environment. During the session, the client can vent and express emotions while in a safe, non-threatening environment where their thoughts and emotions are kept confidential.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am passionate about my work. I am a Christian and have been led to this profession to help others. I have worked with children and adults with various diagnoses and in various situations. Being a counselor is my calling.

My goals for you

The client and I work together to formulate goals based on their reason for seeking counseling. The client sets his/her goals with my guidance. The goals are added to a treatment plan that the client and I create together.

Our first session

During the first session, we discuss the reason for seeking counseling and get to know each other so that the client and I can formulate a therapeutic relationship conducive to therapy.
