About Lonnie
She creates an open space where people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. Sessions are conversational and grounded in listening first. The emphasis is on understanding each person’s experience before moving toward practical steps.
Dr. Erskine combines client-centered methods with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns, test new behaviors, and practice ways to calm and focus the mind. She also uses motivational interviewing to help clarify goals and strengthen commitment to change.
Her work covers many concerns such as addictions, bipolar symptoms, coping with life changes, parenting struggles, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and the effects of abuse.
People who benefit most are those ready to talk openly, try straightforward skills between sessions, and set small goals for change. She aims to help clients build confidence, manage symptoms, and find practical ways to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarify their own goals before moving to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and tests practical alternatives through small behavioral steps.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning can change as work progresses and new needs emerge.
Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, require less travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. It can also let people use practices like mindfulness or thought records as part of their daily routine with the therapist's guidance.
