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 extensive background in behavior modification. She focuses on helping people manage trauma, grief, stress, anxiety, and the everyday strains that follow major life changes.

She works with people who face compassion fatigue and those wrestling with addiction, depression, bipolar symptoms, and self-esteem concerns. Lorri also supports people dealing with relationship and family issues, parenting stress, body image and eating concerns, and challenges linked to codependency. Her approach treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths.

In sessions she emphasizes practical, manageable steps and clear problem-solving. Conversations aim to identify patterns, build coping skills, and find ways to reduce overwhelm. She draws on years of experience in behavior-focused work to set realistic, measurable goals.

Lorri welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into daily life and encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard. She aims to create a steady, goal-oriented process that helps clients move forward from difficult experiences. If you want straightforward support to address stress, grief, trauma, or codependency-related struggles, she offers a collaborative, skills-focused path forward.

Approaches that guide online work and practical care

Lorri uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. One common approach focuses on behavior change and measurable steps - it breaks bigger struggles into small actions to practice between sessions and helps with anxiety, grief, and codependency patterns. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care, which helps people process past hurts at a pace that feels manageable and reduces reactivity in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily routines. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what helps most.

Confirm available session formats before booking, since options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or school by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or conversations that focus on skill practice and problem-solving without long commutes. Licensed professionals use these practical benefits to help clients sustain progress between sessions.
