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 later focused on behavior change and supporting people through difficult transitions. She values the courage it takes to start therapy and meets people where they are in the moment.

She helps people manage trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anxiety and stress, and the everyday strain of caregiving and compassion fatigue. Lorri also supports those facing relationship strain, challenges with self-esteem, eating concerns, mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and struggles related to addiction.

Her work grows from a practical, strengths-focused stance. She treats the person, not just the problem, and emphasizes skills people can use between sessions. Expect clear, down-to-earth conversation and actionable steps that fit into day-to-day life.

Lorri's early background in behavior modification informs how she structures change work. She draws on approaches that have research support to reduce symptoms and improve coping. Clients and families benefit from concrete strategies and steady guidance through transitions.

Therapy starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location and therapist availability. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete the brief intake to schedule a first appointment.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Many clients benefit from approaches that focus on building practical skills and changing behavior. One common technique used in this work teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and stepwise problem solving to reduce overwhelm. These skills help people get through intense moments and handle day-to-day pressures.

Another frequent element emphasizes behavior-focused strategies. This involves setting small, measurable goals, tracking progress, and adjusting routines to support recovery from addictions, manage mood shifts, or improve sleep and activity patterns. It works well for people who want clear steps and accountability.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will weigh a person's needs, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques that fit their life. Clients are invited to give feedback so plans are adjusted over time to remain helpful and realistic.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about available options when scheduling. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or travel days, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different rhythms of care and build skills between meetings without changing their daily routine.
