About Charline
Charline Gaskin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, self-esteem, and addiction. Charline also supports people facing parenting and family issues, including blended family challenges and co-parenting tensions.
Her style is collaborative and client-centered. She listens to the person in front of her and uses that information to decide what to try next. Sessions work toward clearer thinking, practical coping skills, and small behavior changes that fit into everyday life.
Charline draws on therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness tools. Those methods are used to reduce reactivity, manage difficult emotions, and build more reliable routines. She also uses motivational interviewing to work through changes related to addiction and impulsivity.
People come to her with a wide range of concerns - from career stress and compassion fatigue to attachment wounds and family of origin issues. She will talk through goals and help prioritize what matters most in the short term. The work emphasizes clear steps and check-ins rather than abstract theory.
Sessions are practical and goal oriented. Expect to notice small shifts in how you respond to triggers, handle conflict, or manage daily stressors. Charline helps people sort through loyalty conflicts, merge routines in stephouseholds, and navigate parenting strains without taking sides.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Charline commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help when worries or loyalty conflicts make decision making harder. CBT breaks down unhelpful thinking patterns and replaces them with practical strategies for managing mood, anxiety, or behavior.She also draws on Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to lower emotional reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping. Mindfulness teaches simple attention practices that reduce overwhelm. DBT skills offer concrete tools for emotion regulation and better communication.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client’s situation. Changes are paced to match what someone can realistically practice between sessions.
Please confirm available session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weeknight or lunch break and can remove travel time. Different formats also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that helps focus on the content rather than the camera.
