About Lonnie
Dr. Lonnie Erskine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, and anger. Dr. Erskine talks with people about everyday struggles and the patterns that keep them stuck.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that feed anger or low mood.
Mindfulness practices are part of her sessions when they fit a person's goals. These are short exercises to build awareness of sensations and reactions in the moment. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and take practical steps toward those goals.
In a typical meeting she will help a client name patterns in relationships or at work that lead to frustration. She offers small, concrete strategies people can try between sessions. Discussions are paced to the person's comfort and practical needs.
Dr. Erskine works with a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including addictions, bipolar challenges, intimacy-related problems, and caregiver stress. She practices in South Carolina and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people choose an online therapy option and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Erskine uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and reflecting what matters most to each person. Online sessions let her focus on concerns and reactions while helping people name patterns that lead to anger or low mood.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. That approach works well online because it breaks problems into small, concrete steps people can try between meetings and report back on.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to choose approaches based on goals, needs, and what feels workable. Clients and therapist adjust techniques over time as needed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with her during the matching steps about what schedule and session length will fit everyday life.
