More about Charles

  • 15 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMSW

I am a trained, experienced psychologist and licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of clinical experience. I have PhD in both Social Work and Psychology and have practiced in multiple forums and settings in the public and private sector. Clinically, I have successfully worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance use disorders/addictions, trauma/abuse, identity and relationship issues.

My counseling style is optimistic, accepting, nonjudgmental and interactive. I believe in treating all who seek assistance with respect, affirmation, sensitivity, and understanding. While I am primarily trained using a cognitive-behavioral approach in practice, I am familiar with and can encompass multiple other therapeutic approaches as well. My approach depends on the matter of concerns presented. I have learned overtime how to tailor dialog and treatment plans to meet the unique and specific needs of the one in care.

Please know I am here to support and assist you in achieving goal-oriented and holistic improvement.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
