Dr. Lonnie Erskine

Dr. Lonnie Erskine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people facing trauma, grief, depression, addiction, and career concerns. Her approach emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak honestly about stress and life changes.

Clients describe practical sessions that focus on real problems and clear steps forward. Dr. Erskine draws on client-centered listening to understand each person’s values and goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including parenting struggles, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with major life transitions. She also supports people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, and challenges linked to chronic illness and caregiving.

Sessions tend to focus on what feels most pressing to the client and on simple tools that can be used between meetings. Expect a collaborative pace where the therapist helps set practical goals, teaches skills, and checks what’s working. This makes therapy feel useful even when life is busy.

People who value straightforward conversation and clear strategies often find this style helpful. Those seeking help should be prepared for honest discussion and small, manageable steps toward change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Erskine often integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy when helping people online. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, which helps build trust and clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions, and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, values, and daily routines, and then adjust as progress is tracked. This means therapy evolves to match what the person needs, rather than sticking to one fixed plan.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Ask about available session options so meetings can be planned to match work, family, and other daily responsibilities.
