Sessions avoid confrontation or judgment and center on the relationship between the person and the counselor. Practical skills, small behavior changes, and goal-focused work are often part of the plan. Charlotte guides people through relapse prevention, coping with life changes, and rebuilding routine after setbacks.

She practices in Florida and conducts work in English. People interested in starting are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals. It is useful for building trust, processing trauma, and working through shame or low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to change patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and relapse prevention by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change. It can be especially helpful when people are considering changes around substance use or other habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Charlotte will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques during sessions so the plan stays practical and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel to an office. Talk with Charlotte about what will work best given your schedule and the issues you want to address.
