About Lorri
Lorri Stiles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and the everyday strains that come with parenting and family life. Lorri also helps people dealing with addiction, depression, bipolar concerns, and issues around self-esteem and relationships.
She began her career working with children and families and has long experience in behavior modification. That background informs how she organizes sessions now, with clear, goal-focused steps and practical strategies. Sessions tend to focus on what is getting in the way day to day and on small changes that add up over time.
Lorri frames clients as experts in their own story and looks for existing strengths to build on. She talks with people about coping skills, handling grief and loss, and managing compassion fatigue. She draws on approaches that have evidence behind them and keeps the work straightforward and task-oriented.
People who come to her can expect direct conversation about problems and doable techniques to try between sessions. She pays attention to patterns that keep difficulties repeating and helps people test different ways of responding. Lorri aims to make sessions practical so changes can fit into a busy household.
Her practice language is English and she sees clients in Virginia. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session using the online booking flow.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on symptoms and daily functioning. One common approach is behavior-focused work, which looks at patterns of action and helps people try different responses to reduce distress and improve routines. This is useful for parenting challenges, anxiety, and habit change.Another frequently used method emphasizes trauma-informed strategies that help people process difficult experiences and build coping skills for grief, compassion fatigue, and the aftereffects of abuse. This approach often combines skill-building with careful pacing to avoid overwhelm.
Choosing the right method is part of the first few sessions. She works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, test approaches, and adjust them based on what helps most. The choice of techniques is guided by the client's needs, preferences, and the problems they bring to sessions.
Confirm the current session formats before booking. When offered, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions that rely more on conversation if scheduling during work breaks or caregiving windows is important. Ask about specific session options during the matching and scheduling steps.
