About Lorri
Lorri Stiles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Virginia with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, bipolar concerns, relationship and family issues, and struggles with addiction or compassion fatigue. She also helps with parenting stress, body image, self-esteem, and other life transitions.
She began her career working with children and families and spent many years focused on behavior modification. That background shaped a practical approach to changing patterns that get in the way of daily life. Lorri talks through specific problems and looks for small, repeatable steps clients can try between sessions.
Lorri emphasizes that people know their own stories and strengths. In sessions she listens for existing resources and then helps people apply them to current challenges. She supports those recovering from trauma, managing grief, or facing major life changes with direct, steady guidance.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care matters, autism and Asperger syndrome related struggles, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and aspects of kink and alternative sex culture. She also addresses co-occurring conditions and complex presentations in practical terms.
Clients can expect a straightforward style focused on problem solving and skill building. Lorri encourages people to take manageable steps toward change, and she helps track what works and what needs adjusting as therapy continues.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques include approaches that focus on changing unhelpful behavior patterns and building coping skills. One common method emphasizes behavior modification - identifying what maintains a problem, testing small changes, and reinforcing actions that lead to better daily functioning. This approach can help with anxiety, habit patterns, and emotion regulation.Another useful approach focuses on processing trauma and loss in gradual, manageable steps. That work can involve recalling experiences in a paced way, learning grounding strategies, and rehearsing new responses to triggers. It is intended to reduce intense reactions and improve functioning over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes trying methods, checking how they feel, and adjusting plans based on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day that includes school, work, or caregiving. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients connect from a quieter spot with less disruption. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in an online setting.
