About Lonnie

Dr. Lonnie Erskine is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with nine years of professional experience. She offers skilled support for people coping with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and addiction, as well as concerns related to intimacy, family dynamics, and LGBT issues. Her practice also addresses a range of related struggles including career stress, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Known for fostering an open and nonjudgmental space, she works collaboratively with individuals to explore thoughts and feelings and to identify practical steps toward greater well-being. She emphasizes empathy and encouragement while helping people build motivation, confidence, and resilience as they work through difficult transitions and painful experiences.

Taking the first step toward change often requires courage, and Dr. Erskine aims to be a steady source of support throughout that process. As an LPC - a licensed counselor who provides professional therapeutic care - she tailors her approach to each person’s needs, focusing on respectful partnership and evidence-informed methods to help clients move toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Lonnie Erskine uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative atmosphere where the person’s own goals and experiences guide the work - this approach helps when someone needs validation, emotional support, or a chance to clarify values and priorities. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and manage symptoms such as depression, anxiety, or trauma-related responses. Mindfulness therapy is offered as well to help individuals build present-moment awareness and reduce stress through simple attention and breathing practices, which can complement work on emotional regulation and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Dr. Erskine collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on progress and feedback to ensure care remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily life, and they allow people to access licensed professionals from their own community. The online format supports continuity of care and can make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions while working toward personal goals.
