Charline Gaskin
I am a therapist who supports individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. I take a collaborative, client-centered approach that prioritizes your lived experience and personal goals. I aim to provide a supportive, culturally responsive space where you feel heard, understood, and respected. Together, we work toward building insight, strengthening coping skills, and creating meaningful change that fits your life. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 5 years of experience, I have worked with individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, as well as families and couples. These experiences have strengthened my ability to meet clients where they are and tailor therapy to their unique needs and goals.
First session
Our first session is an active, collaborative assessment designed to jumpstart your progress. While we will take time to get to know each other and review your background, our main focus will be clarifying exactly what is keeping you stuck and establishing concrete, measurable goals for our treatment plan. We will use this time to :Pinpoint core challenges related to your anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Define your target goals so we both know exactly what success looks like for you. Outline our accountability framework, including how we will structure your weekly between-session action steps. By the end of this session, you will leave with a clear roadmap of what our ongoing work will look like and a definitive plan to build momentum right away.
Strengths
I bring a collaborative, client-centered approach that emphasizes safety, respect, and nonjudgement. I integrate CBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing to support insight, emotional regulation, and meaningful behavior change. My strengths include building strong therapeutic rapport, helping clients feel heard and grounded, and translating insight into practical coping strategies. I aim to meet client where they are while supporting steady, realistic progress toward their goals.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, or life transitions, who is ready to actively do the work. You might feel stuck or overwhelmed, but you are deeply motivated to take control, show up consistently, and take meaningful next steps. I specialize in working with individuals who are looking for a true accountability partner—someone to help you stay on track, challenge you, and keep you moving forward. Our work will not just be about venting; it will be about action. Together, we will create a structured, collaborative space to build concrete coping skills, increase self-awareness, and drive lasting change. If you are ready to be consistent, stay committed, and invest in your own growth, I am excited to partner with you!
