About Lorri

Lorri Stiles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with eight years of clinical experience. She began her career working with children and families and has a background in behavior modification. Lorri centers her work on practical support for people facing grief, trauma, loss, and major life changes.

Her approach treats each person as the expert on their own story. She looks for strengths clients can use right away. Sessions focus on clear steps and skills people can practice between meetings. That practical emphasis is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and everyday overwhelm.

Lorri has worked with people who struggle with compassion fatigue and burnout. She also supports those dealing with addictions, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms, and issues around self-esteem and body image. She draws on her earlier experience with families when helping people sort relationship or parenting challenges.

People come to Lorri for help after loss and during end-of-life situations, when grief and practical needs often overlap. Her style is down-to-earth and steady, aimed at helping someone get through hard days and make small, workable changes.

Starting therapy with Lorri begins with a simple step of sharing what matters most to you. She will work with you to set realistic goals and focus on skills that fit your life and values.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Many of Lorri's techniques focus on concrete skills and short-term strategies that people can use in daily life. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical coping tools for anxiety, stress, and mood shifts; these tools include breathing, grounding, and routine-building techniques to manage difficult moments. Another typical focus is grief support, which combines emotional processing with problem-solving around daily needs and decisions during loss or end-of-life situations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lorri will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying methods, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Online work can make it simpler to keep appointments when travel or time is limited, and allows sessions to focus on real-life problems as they arise. Because the biography does not specify session formats, please confirm the current online and in-person options before booking so you know which formats are offered.
