About Charline

Charline Gaskin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. She uses a collaborative, client-centered style and focuses on practical steps that fit into busy lives. Her work also covers parenting concerns, career stress, addiction issues, and adjustment to life changes.

With five years of experience, Charline draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful steps. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and build new patterns that reduce symptoms.

Sessions are offered in a supportive, culturally responsive manner that emphasizes listening and respect. Charline aims to help clients build insight and strengthen coping skills. People can expect a calm, straightforward approach with tools they can try between sessions.

She brings experience working with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, compassion fatigue, grief around abandonment, attachment difficulties, and issues that come from family of origin patterns. She also addresses substance use and impulse-related challenges with motivational strategies and behavioral skills.

Charline practices in Connecticut and conducts therapy in English. Prospective clients are asked to use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that aligns with her availability.

How Charline’s approaches translate to online therapy

Charline uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small actions that align with their values. This approach can be useful for life changes, low motivation, and decisions tied to relationships or career.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. CBT is practical and often includes exercises to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily realities. That might mean blending techniques or trying a few strategies to see what fits best.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, and remove commute time so therapy is more convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to an online setting so clients can practice skills at home and report back on what worked.
