About Charline
Charline Gaskin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, parenting pressures, addiction concerns, and anger. She uses a collaborative, client-centered style that focuses on each person's goals and life context.
Charline listens for what matters most and then helps people build practical skills. Sessions often include learning coping strategies, practicing emotion regulation, and finding ways to respond differently in tense moments. She also supports clients coping with career changes, grief, and the fatigue that comes from caregiving roles.
Her work draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior skills, and mindfulness practice. These approaches are used in straightforward ways - for example, noticing unhelpful thinking, trying small behavior experiments, or developing distress-tolerance tools.
Charline pays attention to family background, attachment patterns, and impulsivity when those issues are relevant. She also addresses concerns related to ADHD, codependency, trauma-related dissociation, and substance use when clients bring them up.
In sessions she aims to help people make changes that fit daily life. That can mean short skill-building between meetings, clearer communication strategies, or pacing goals so progress is manageable. She offers care in English and works with adults across different life stages.
To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. This first meeting is used to set priorities and agree on practical steps forward.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that matter, while learning to notice painful thoughts without letting them control behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple experiments to test and change patterns that feed anger or anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Charline will talk with each client about goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. Together they review what helps and adjust techniques over time so the work fits day-to-day life.
Check the platform or scheduler to confirm which session formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so clients can use a break at work or between errands. Licensed professionals often use video or phone in different ways - for example video for skills practice and phone for quick follow-ups - and Charline will discuss practical options during intake to find what suits each person.
