More about Charles
- 11 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
Working as a therapist for about 10 years, I consider myself an eclectic therapist using all diverse types of modalities including dialectical and cognitive behavioral. I do focus on the patient and what their specific needs are in the moment and look at their past to see what kind of issues caused them to fail in the present. Studied and completed my master's degree in El Paso Texas and have been working in private settings and hospitals for the past 10 years and in Houston, Texas for the past 7 years.

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.
