More about Charlotte

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCPC, LPC

One of my favorite mentors/authors/ counselors is quoted to say "owning our story, and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we'll ever do." Brene Brown. I firmly believe in this quote and work to apply this to my personal life. Learning to be brave and loving ourselves on the journey we are on brings freedom from the multitude of stress life throws our way.

My counseling approach focuses on finding those moments of courage and vulnerability to tackle life's struggles. I find that when clients can explore their values and strengths and pursue their goals and dreams they find the most success and peace in life. My counseling approach utilizes ACT, Solution Focused, CBT and Narrative Counseling Theories.

I have ten years of professional experience working as a counselor. I have extensive knowledge working with addictions, as well and depression, low self-esteem, anxiety and stress management. In addition I have strength in addressing grief and loss as well as career issues. I have a Bachelor Degree in Psychology and Master degree in Mental Health Counseling.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ review for Charlotte! I’m new here. I have had >3 sessions now. I also tried group session. This is my first experience with therapy. I was matched with Charlotte via a survey. I feel more than lucky. I feel like she has taken time to get to know my goals of therapy. She respects my belief system. She also offers advise and guidance specific to my situation. Charlotte is not a scripted, or canned text therapist. She digs in to the nitty gritty and makes recommendations for my life. She has helped me identify areas in need of improvement. I recommend Charlotte and her amazing skills. I’m looking forward to more sessions. Fingers crossed she can help me with anticipatory grief and anger management.

I feel validated in recognizing that Charlotte truly listens to what I say. Where some therapists provide blanket responses that can oftentimes feel impersonal, Charlotte responds with genuine respect for my emotions and experiences. I feel like an individual, rather than just another “client,” as I have with many other therapists before. I appreciate her willingness to take the time to respect where I am and meet me there in her responses.

Charlotte is the first councilor I've ever had and she definitely puts in the time and thought in the "why" behind the problems which is fantastic. Due to my work schedule and traveling picking up around this time of year, I had to end my counseling after a month since I knew I wasn't getting the most out out of it if I was only able to respond once in a while between breaks in my schedule. This was a bit of a test run to see how I liked counseling since I've never tried it before. I do plan on resuming counseling with her at a later date. Thanks Charlotte!
