About Charlotte
Charlotte Windom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, anger, depression, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and listens closely, aiming to make sessions feel manageable for someone juggling family and daily responsibilities. Charlotte brings 16 years of counseling experience to her work.
She draws on ways of working that help people notice what matters to them, learn practical skills for emotion regulation, and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions are intended to be practical and down-to-earth rather than full of jargon. Her background includes roles in independent practice, community mental health, and university counseling services. She helped set up a child and adolescent day treatment program that ran for many years, and she has worked in school-linked and court liaison roles.
Those experiences inform how she talks about family dynamics and communication problems. In the room Charlotte often blends acceptance-based strategies with skill-building approaches. She uses mindful noticing and values-based goals alongside straightforward cognitive and behavioral techniques.
The goal is to give clear tools clients can use between sessions. People who contact her can expect an approach that balances warmth with structure. She supports work on common concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness challenges, and issues tied to family of origin.
Conversations tend to move at a steady pace and focus on what helps most day to day.
How chosen approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult emotions. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress and improve coping. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problem-focused concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, helps people understand and shift emotional patterns that affect close relationships and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try methods that match those priorities. That collaborative process can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people juggling busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in between sessions or use written tools when talking by voice is hard. These options make it easier to maintain steady progress while fitting therapy into everyday schedules.
