About Lonnie
Dr. Lonnie Erskine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with nine years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting questions, motivation and self-esteem, depression and anxiety. She works with adults who want practical strategies and clearer thinking around difficult feelings.
Her approach centers on listening and on collaborative planning. Sessions focus on what the person brings each week and on skills they can try between appointments. She uses straightforward tools to address thinking patterns, behavior, and present-day reactions to past events.
Dr. Erskine blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques. That means conversations are led by the client’s priorities while also looking for specific thoughts and habits to change. Mindfulness practices are offered when they fit the client's goals and comfort level.
People often come for help with relationship and family strain, blended family issues, parenting stress, or with grief and traumatic memories. She also works with concerns such as addiction, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to identify practical next steps and reduce things that get in the way of everyday functioning.
New clients are guided through a brief intake and a plan for the first weeks of work. The focus is on clear goals, manageable changes, and regular check-ins to see what is helping and what needs adjusting.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Dr. Erskine commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness tools in her work. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations follow the client's concerns and the therapist listens closely to the person's priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small experiments to shift them. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, motivation problems, and patterns that get in the way of everyday tasks.
Mindfulness techniques are short practices to notice thoughts and sensations without judgment. These can help with stress, emotional reactivity, and building new ways to respond in tense family situations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps find what actually helps the person in their daily life.
