Background and approach
Sessions are a place to talk about feelings and thoughts without judgment. Charles helps clients set small goals and track what changes over time. Over two decades, his practice has centered on helping people manage strong emotions and improve connection with others.
He draws on methods that teach coping skills and short-term problem solving. That experience informs how he structures sessions and plans next steps with each person. Charles believes progress is built from honest talk and doable actions.
He supports people who are ready to try different strategies for mood and behavior. He encourages patience while keeping work focused and goal-oriented. People who choose him can expect practical tools, consistent feedback, and an emphasis on what works between sessions.
His approach is collaborative and paced to fit each person’s needs. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer choices and manageable next steps.
Practical approaches for online support
Charles blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing concrete techniques to change them. It can help with depression, bipolar mood swings, anxiety around relationships, and repetitive behaviors linked to OCD. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what you want to achieve and on small, practical steps that move you toward that goal. It is useful when people want quick, targeted changes and clear next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most useful. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on progress and client preferences, making the process collaborative and flexible.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video makes it easier to use worksheets and observe nonverbal cues, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try approaches that match how someone prefers to communicate.
