Dr. Lonnie Erskine

Dr. Lonnie Erskine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage trauma, grief, depression, and common stressors that come with major life transitions. Her approach centers on building a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about their worries and goals.

Dr. Erskine aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. She listens for patterns that get in the way of daily functioning and works with clients to set small, practical goals. Conversations are grounded and direct, not full of jargon, so clients can try things between sessions.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including parenting strains, self-esteem struggles, addictions, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue, relationship intimacy issues, and career or grief-related stresses. The focus is on what helps the individual move forward, one step at a time.

Sessions may blend talking with hands-on strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness skills. Motivation-focused techniques are used to help people find what matters to them and take achievable steps toward it. Dr. Erskine emphasizes collaboration when deciding what to try next.

People who prefer clear guidance and practical tools often find her style helpful. She encourages honest conversation and works to create realistic plans that fit daily life. To begin, clients follow the site's onboarding steps to match with her and schedule a session.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. The therapist creates space for people to say what matters most and helps them make their own choices about change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to shift them. These methods can help with mood, anxiety, and coping through life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Erskine will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions are made collaboratively so the plan fits the person's rhythm and priorities.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow continuity when life changes make in-person visits harder. A therapist can help adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions.
