About Charline
Charline Gaskin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. She also addresses addictions, ADHD, parenting and family issues, and related worries that often come up in early adulthood.
Charline uses a client-centered, collaborative style. Sessions are practical and straightforward. She listens to what matters most and helps people set realistic goals. Work can include building coping skills, improving communication, and managing intense emotions.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness exercises to notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas are used to clarify values and take small steps toward what feels important. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered when people need help with strong emotions or impulsive behavior.
Charline aims to address both immediate problems and longer-term patterns, such as attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, or issues tied to family of origin. She also supports people dealing with substance use and relapse risk through motivational and behavioral strategies. Sessions are aimed at practical change that fits a client's life and schedule.
People who contact her often want help with transitions like leaving home, starting a first job, or deciding on next steps after school. She uses clear tools, brief skill practice, and steady planning so problems feel more manageable over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Charline commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and to try small behavioral experiments. CBT is practical and focused on changing habits that get in the way of daily functioning.She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps clarify what matters most and supports taking committed steps toward those values even when worry or discomfort shows up. Mindfulness practices are used alongside these approaches to build attention and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charline treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you choose techniques that fit your goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adjusts the mix of skills and exercises based on what proves most useful in early sessions.
Session format information is not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking.

If you prefer camera-off conversations or brief skill-focused meetings, mention that during the matching process so session planning can reflect your needs.
