About Lorri
Lorri Stiles is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia with eight years of clinical experience. She began her career working in behavior change settings and has built a practice focused on helping people navigate trauma, grief, anxiety, and life transitions. Lorri values clear, practical work and meets people where they are.
Her approach is direct and strengths-based. Lorri helps clients identify skills they already have and practices new ways to respond to stress and painful memories.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on day-to-day coping, managing strong emotions, and reducing the impact of past hurt on current life. She has experience supporting people facing compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, mood challenges such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and relationship or family stress. Lorri also works with issues like body image, parenting strain, and long-term illness or caregiving stress.
Her background includes work related to adoption and foster care and attachment concerns. Lorri uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps build practical tools for change.
The focus is on small, steady steps that fit into daily routines. For people who prefer remote care, sessions can be scheduled by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works with the client’s routine.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Many of the techniques Lorri uses are evidence-based and easy to practice in an online setting. One common approach focuses on learning new coping skills for strong emotions and stress - clients practice simple tools for grounding, relaxation, and tolerating distress that can be used between sessions. Another approach centers on processing trauma and painful memories at a manageable pace, helping reduce their hold on daily life through paced talks and targeted exercises.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lorri works together with each person to match techniques to their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. She will explain options, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online work offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let conversations feel closer to in-person sessions, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can fit short check-ins into a break, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills in real life.
