About Lorri

Lorri Stiles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with eight years of experience. She began her career working with children and families and later expanded into broader mental health work. Lorri focuses on helping people cope with trauma and abuse, manage grief and life changes, and address stress and anxiety.

She has worked with clients on anger management and compassion fatigue, and has experience in behavior modification from earlier roles. Lorri emphasizes that clients know their own stories and brings a strengths-based attitude to each session. She encourages people to notice the resources they already have and to build on them.

In sessions, Lorri aims to create a space where clients can talk through immediate concerns and develop practical steps forward. She takes a straightforward, supportive approach and helps people set manageable goals. Her background with families informs how she sees patterns and interactions that affect daily life.

Lorri’s work covers a wide range of concerns including addictions, relationships, parenting, eating and body image, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and topics related to attachment and adoption. She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and issues connected to sexuality and alternative cultures.

If you are considering therapy, Lorri guides people through early steps and next actions with empathy and clear communication. She asks questions, listens closely, and helps clients create plans that fit their lives.

Approaches that guide online work and choice of method

Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on skills, coping, and changing patterns. One common approach teaches practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step problem solving to reduce immediate distress.

Another frequent technique looks at how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships. This approach helps people notice patterns that come from attachment, abandonment, or trauma and then try new ways of responding in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they can try methods and adjust the plan based on how things are going.

Because the therapist’s listed formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people maintain continuity of care when life or location changes, while the therapist and client focus on practical steps that fit everyday life.
