About Charline
Charline Gaskin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on practical help for parents and individuals coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She draws on five years of clinical experience to listen, clarify concerns, and set clear goals with each person she meets. Her style is collaborative and client-centered.
Sessions focus on real-life problems and building skills that make daily life easier. She emphasizes small, achievable changes and uses straightforward language so parents can apply tools between sessions.
Background and approach
Charline blends cognitive behavioral strategies with mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas. Those approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking, try new actions, and manage strong emotions. When addiction, ADHD, or relationship strains are part of the picture, she works to identify practical steps and healthier routines.
Her background includes working across age ranges and with many parenting concerns, such as blended family issues, communication problems, and navigating caregiving stress. She also addresses abandonment, attachment questions, codependency, and family of origin issues when they affect current functioning. Sessions aim to strengthen coping skills, reduce overwhelm, and improve day-to-day functioning.
Charline helps people build plans that fit their schedules and responsibilities. She uses techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when they match a person’s goals.

How evidence-based approaches fit online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and commit to small steps that match those values. It can be useful for stress, depression, and parenting decisions when someone wants more purposeful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior and then practicing different responses. It works well for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm; it pairs well with skills work for emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and lifestyle. That process can include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most in daily life.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Video calls let people work face to face without traveling. Phone sessions or shorter live chat check-ins can suit a quick session during a break or when bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging supports ongoing check-ins and tracking between appointments. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on practical skills and progress.
