Charline Gaskin

Charline Gaskin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship strain. She uses a collaborative, client-centered style that focuses on each person’s goals and daily life. Sessions are aimed at practical steps you can try between meetings. Charline emphasizes listening first. She creates a respectful space where clients can say what matters to them and set clear, realistic goals. Together they build coping skills for anger, compassion fatigue, addictions, ADHD, and life changes. Her work draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and practice paying attention in ways that reduce reactivity. With five years as an LPC in Connecticut, Charline brings experience across many situations. She has supported people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, family of origin issues, and blended family struggles. Her background includes helping clients with substance use concerns and codependency patterns. Therapy sessions are practical and straightforward. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, learn skills for managing emotions, and set small steps to test between sessions. Charline aims for steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

How Charline’s approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful when anxiety, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that worsen mood and stress. It often involves practical exercises and experiments between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment attention and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, impulsivity, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you will decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as you go. This keeps therapy collaborative and tailored to your needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Many people appreciate not having to commute and being able to schedule therapy around work or caregiving. If you need different session lengths, shorter check-ins, or options that avoid being on camera, confirm the available session formats before booking. Please check current session options when you book to confirm how sessions are offered.
