About Lorri
Lorri Stiles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with eight years of clinical experience. She began her career working with children and families and has a background in behavior modification.

She listens for the real problems behind the symptoms and helps clients build on their existing strengths. Conversations are straightforward and goal-oriented, with clear steps to practice between sessions.
Background and approach
Lorri also addresses compassion fatigue and the strain that caregiving or high-stress work can cause. Her experience includes work with trauma and abuse, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, and challenges tied to relationships, parenting, and family dynamics. She also supports people dealing with addictions, body image and eating concerns, and adoption or foster care questions.
Additional focuses include aging issues, chronic illness and pain, attachment concerns, and identity topics related to LGBT experiences. Sessions tend to emphasize what to try next and how to make small changes that add up. Lorri sees each person as the expert on their life and helps translate insight into practical steps.
She recognizes that starting therapy can feel hard and aims to make the first steps as simple and encouraging as possible. Clients can expect a calm, respectful approach that combines active listening with hands-on strategies. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs, with attention to coping skills and realistic goals.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Evidence-based techniques focus on clear steps people can try between sessions. One common approach used in this practice emphasizes practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing strategies, grounding techniques, and brief behavioral experiments to reduce overwhelm. These tools help when worry or panic make daily tasks harder.Another helpful method centers on processing trauma and grief in manageable pieces. This approach breaks difficult experiences into smaller parts and teaches pacing, so people can work through painful memories without feeling flooded. It is useful for trauma, loss, and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and daily life, and together you will decide which techniques to try first. Plans are adjusted over time based on what feels most helpful and doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief communication between meetings. These options make scheduling easier and let people choose the format that fits their routine and comfort.
