I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a certification as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional II (CCTP II). I graduated from Liberty University and have been working at the local Community Service Board serving clients for the last 8 years in various capacities and have been licensed since 2022. Together, the client and I create goals based on the information provided and the reason for seeking counseling. I have a high success rate of assisting clients to the point of discharge where they are able to manage their emotions independently.
In the first session the client and I start to develop the trust/therapeutic relationship that is the foundation for a successful treatment plan. After obtaining a history and reason for seeking services, together we create goals and establish coping skills to assist with issues presented.
I am a empathetic listener that will allow the client to vent and express his/her emotions. I guide the client through use of information they provide to assist with managing any maladaptive behaviors or concerns.
Lorrie Gaskins offers therapy covered by Kaiser Permanente - Medicaid and UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Virginia.
The treatment plan is created with the client using a holistic approach. Each client is evaluated individually and a plan is designed to meet that client's specific needs.
