About Charnell
Charnell Benjamin-Carter is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, trauma, grief, parenting stress, and related concerns. Charnell also helps with intimacy issues, eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career or life-change challenges.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness strategies. She draws on Trauma Informed Care and elements of the 12 Step model when addictions are involved.
Her early training included an internship at an inpatient residential facility focused on eating disorders and substance abuse. That work shaped how she sees the connection between individual struggles and family relationships. She also describes using conflict-resolution and family-systems ideas when relationship patterns repeat.
Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, trying different ways of responding, and addressing deeper patterns that keep problems returning. She mentions working with faith as part of some clients' process when relevant to their goals. Charnell aims to combine practical strategies with attention to core issues rather than only symptom-level fixes.

How CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Charnell uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that translate well to remote meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and willingness to accept difficult feelings while taking committed action toward goals. It supports work on grief, anxiety, and life changes by clarifying what matters and practicing small steps.Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and can find their own solutions. In an online context this looks like focused conversation, summarizing progress, and adjusting goals together. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review goals, try methods, and change the plan based on what helps the client meet practical aims.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions fit better around work, caregiving, or travel and let them continue care from different locations. Remote meetings can also make short check-ins easier, reduce commute time, and allow use of worksheets and exercises during sessions. Licensed professionals will discuss which session rhythm and tools fit each person's schedule and needs.
