Her approach emphasizes what a person already does well and builds on those strengths. Conversations are straightforward and action-oriented. Clients practice skills for sleep, motivation, and managing overwhelming feelings.
Charlotte has long experience with trauma, including combat-related trauma. She pairs listening with concrete tools to help people reduce distress and regain daily functioning. She also supports people facing grief and end-of-life decisions.
People who choose her can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and problem-solving. She helps set clear goals and reviews progress regularly. To start, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How cognitive and acceptance approaches are used in online sessions
Charlotte often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behavior. CBT sessions focus on concrete exercises, short between-session tasks, and reviewing what did or did not work in daily life.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and develop willingness to experience difficult feelings while taking steps toward chosen goals. Client-Centered Therapy is used to keep the conversation focused on the person's own priorities and to adjust pace and direction based on what the person reports.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients can expect clear explanations of each method and practical homework to practice new skills between meetings.
