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 in behavior modification, and that early work shaped how she helps people today. Lorri aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's story.
She focuses on common and painful issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, and grief.
How Lorri works
She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, addictions, eating concerns, and challenges around self-esteem. Lorri addresses relationship and family concerns and helps parents cope with the strain of raising children. Her additional focus includes areas like adoption and foster care, attachment issues, aging and geriatric matters, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, body image, and codependency.
She is comfortable talking about less commonly discussed topics such as BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. Lorri uses practical strategies drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people find clearer ways forward. In sessions she treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on.
She prefers a collaborative style - listening first, then offering tools that fit the person's goals. Many people come for help with handling life changes, managing strong emotions, or recovering from trauma. Therapy with Lorri is offered in English and provided through a mix of session formats.
She asks people to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time to meet.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Lorri draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and stress through breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping strategies to reduce overwhelm. Another approach centers on processing trauma and loss at a pace the person chooses, using structured conversations and tools to help make sense of difficult experiences.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lorri collaborates with each person to identify which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. This helps create a practical plan rather than a one-size-fits-all program.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and fuller conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and maintain continuity over time.
