01About Lonnie
Dr. Lonnie Erskine is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people handle strong emotions and life changes.
Her work often centers on trauma, grief, depression, addictions, and challenges around self-esteem and motivation. She aims to make sessions feel straightforward and welcoming. Conversations are held without judgment so clients can speak openly about painful memories, relationship strain, or struggles at work.
Background and approach
The first step is acknowledged as a brave one, and she offers steady support through it. In practice she blends practical tools with attentive listening. Clients learn ways to notice unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and build small skills one step at a time.
Techniques are selected to fit what each person needs, whether that means problem-focused strategies or gentler, reflective work. Dr. Erskine also works with concerns such as parenting stress, intimacy-related issues, LGBTQ matters, and attention-related difficulties.
She addresses both long-standing problems and reactions to recent events like loss or trauma. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer next steps and more control over day-to-day choices. People who prefer a calm, collaborative approach often find this style helpful.
She offers a balance of empathy and direction, and she helps clients set practical goals for change. Progress is paced to each individual’s needs and life demands.

04Online support
Approaches and online support that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and helping people feel understood. The therapist follows the client's concerns and priorities, creating space to talk through difficult feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches concrete techniques to test and change unhelpful thinking and to try new actions that improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Dr. Erskine will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision means techniques can shift over time as progress is made or new priorities appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging make it possible to share thoughts between sessions or to have brief, immediate exchanges when that fits better with a busy day. These options help therapy fit into work, caregiving, or other daily responsibilities.
