About Charline
Charline Gaskin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with five years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and problems with self-esteem. She also helps those facing addiction, anger, career concerns, ADHD, and life changes.
Her approach is collaborative and client-centered. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on real, practical steps. She listens for how daily routines, family roles, and work pressures affect feelings and behavior.
In sessions she uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness. That means conversations often include noticing thoughts, practicing grounding skills, and testing small behavior changes between meetings. Motivational interviewing can be used when someone wants help changing addictive or impulsive habits.
Charline pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they come up. She also supports people concerned about blended family issues, family of origin patterns, codependency, communication breakdowns, and related struggles. Work on forgiveness, guilt, or shame is done through steady, practical steps rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are focused on building skills and clarity that fit day-to-day life. People who want a direct, respectful approach grounded in specific tools and steady conversation may find this style helpful.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts while taking steps that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions where choice and meaning matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then practicing concrete changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they decide what to try first and adjust methods based on what helps most in practice.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the original biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or phone sessions when a video call is hard to schedule. Others find video meetings useful when they want to use visual exercises or worksheets together. The main practical benefits are fewer travel requirements, easier fitting around work or parenting duties, and more consistent weekly contact when that helps progress.
