Charline Gaskin , LPC

Charline Gaskin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Connecticut with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and self-esteem struggles. Charline aims to create a respectful, culturally aware space where people feel heard and can set clear, achievable goals.

She uses straightforward, client-centered conversations to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions often include building coping skills, practicing communication strategies, and trying manageable behavior changes. Charline draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and respond differently.

Her work also addresses life transitions, career pressures, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and concerns around addiction and attention differences. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, family of origin themes, and patterns like codependency or avoidant behavior. Treatment is tailored to the individual rather than following one fixed plan.

Charline blends acceptance-focused methods with skills-based practice so people can pursue what matters while managing distress. She encourages small, steady steps and checks in about what’s working. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with homework or practice ideas when helpful.

Sessions are conducted in English and offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, prospective clients follow an online matching process and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life transitions make it hard to move forward.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a strong working relationship so clients feel understood. This approach is useful for improving self-esteem, relationship concerns, and processing family of origin issues.

Charline often combines these approaches with cognitive behavioral techniques to teach practical skills and mindfulness to increase present-moment awareness. She views finding the right approach as a team effort and will work with each person to decide what fits their goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging lets people check in or do shorter interventions between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and daily responsibilities while keeping consistent progress.
