Her manner is warm and interactive and she aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity.
Background and approach
Charlotte uses practical conversation to help clients make changes. She listens first, then works with each person to set clear goals. Sessions focus on real-life skills and insights that can help in day-to-day situations.
Her background blends several approaches to match different needs. She draws on client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, dialectical skills for emotional regulation, Jungian ideas about personal meaning, and mindfulness to calm and focus the mind. She tailors these tools to each person rather than using a single formula.
Over twenty years in the field have led her to work with a wide range of life challenges. She has supported people through abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, and the fallout from divorce and separation. Charlotte is licensed in Utah as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
She offers therapy in English and welcomes clients nationally and internationally. Her style aims to be supportive while guiding practical steps toward clearer choices and healthier relationships.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Charlotte uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-first environment where personal goals lead the work. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. CBT can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day problems by offering concrete steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose or combine methods based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Decisions are revisited as progress is made so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people keep more visual connection, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
