Lorri Stiles

Lorri Stiles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family concerns, eating and parenting issues, mood disorders, and self-esteem struggles.

Stiles began her career working with children and families and has extensive experience in behavior modification. That background informs how she structures sessions and sets clear, practical goals. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for the strengths they already have.

In sessions she helps people talk through difficult events, manage strong emotions, and build everyday coping skills. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and to teach strategies people can use between meetings. The focus is on small, practical steps rather than abstract talk.

People come to her when they feel stuck after a loss, a job change, or a stressful period of caregiving. She also guides those dealing with complicated grief or the fallout from trauma and abuse. Her experience includes work with adoption and foster care issues, attachment challenges, and aging-related concerns.

Stiles emphasizes collaboration. She and the client set goals together, track progress, and adapt plans as needs change. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with an aim toward clearer coping and greater day-to-day functioning.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Stiles commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and measurable changes. One approach teaches practical behavioral strategies to change unhelpful patterns and set manageable goals; it helps with anxiety, mood problems, and everyday routines. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed methods that help people process difficult events and reduce the intensity of distressing memories and reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work. She will help identify which techniques fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods as therapy progresses. Clients and therapist set targets together and check whether approaches are working over time.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, or remove the need to be on camera when that helps manage energy. Many people find virtual work convenient for maintaining continuity of care during life changes, and she will discuss which format best supports each person’s situation.
