About Charline

Charline Gaskin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She works with clients on self-esteem, coping with life changes, and challenges like addiction and ADHD. Her way of working starts with listening to what matters to each person and setting goals that feel realistic.

Her style is collaborative and client-centered. She focuses on the person's lived experience and adapts sessions to individual needs. Conversations aim to build insight and practical skills rather than rely on jargon.

Charline draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness in everyday practices. She mixes skill-building with acceptance work to help people manage strong emotions and make values-based choices. Sessions often include hands-on strategies for coping and communication.

With five years of clinical experience in Connecticut, she brings a calm and direct manner to sessions. She emphasizes cultural responsiveness and respect for each person's background and identity. Goals are set together and reviewed as progress is made.

Clients who want help with parenting strain, family conflicts, anger, or career stress will find practical tools and steady support. She also works on deeper patterns like attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and family of origin topics. Her aim is to help people create change that fits their daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values, even when strong emotions or memories are present. It can help with life transitions, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thought and behavior into manageable parts and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can support coping with anger, overwhelm, and addictive urges.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day reality. Sessions combine listening, feedback, and practical exercises so clients leave with tools they can try between meetings.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not stated in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or quiet moment. It can also let people use audio-only or video conversation depending on their comfort and technology. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to work well across different remote setups, focusing on skills that translate into everyday routines.
