Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused Care Online

Client-Centered Therapy centers the individual’s own goals and perspective, creating a respectful space where clients guide the pace and focus of the work. This approach is helpful for improving self-understanding, communication, and confidence when facing relationship or life changes.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic experiences through techniques that help process difficult memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms. It is often used for survivors of abuse, people coping with loss, and those managing stress responses tied to past events.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Lorrie Gaskins collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made to ensure the treatment remains helpful and relevant.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for clients with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These modalities make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and access licensed professionals when in-person visits are not practical.
