About Charlton
Charlton Rhodes offers straightforward, goal-focused support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or substance concerns. He meets clients where they are and helps them clarify what they want to change. Charlton uses down-to-earth language and practical steps so progress feels real and manageable.
Charlton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW - practicing in Georgia. He also holds the CSW designation. He has five years of documented experience working with issues such as depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Clients often bring challenges tied to parenting, intimacy, career transitions, and major life changes. In sessions he mixes client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means he listens closely to what matters most to each person, then helps identify small changes and concrete strategies to try between meetings.
Motivational Interviewing and trauma-focused methods are available when people need help with motivation or past harm. Charlton adapts the pace to each person. Some people prefer short practical sessions to solve a single problem.
Others want a longer course of work to process grief or trauma. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on therapist availability.
Payment uses a cancel-anytime subscription model and varies with location and availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. In online sessions this looks like the therapist asking about what matters most and following the client’s lead to set goals that feel relevant and doable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Delivered by video, phone, or messaging, CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework that clients can try between meetings to track progress.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It works well for issues like substance use or low motivation by using short conversations to explore values and small next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charlton will help decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt them over time. The process is collaborative and paced to the individual.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like easier scheduling and fewer travel demands. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging allow brief updates or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit care into busy lives.
