About Charles
Dr. Charles Graham helps people who are anxious, stressed, or dealing with life’s harder turns. He uses a direct and steady style to help people manage symptoms and find workable steps forward.
He presents himself simply and respectfully so someone worried can feel seen quickly. He brings two decades of clinical experience as a licensed master social worker, LMSW. That background includes work in public and personal settings and with a broad range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and sleep or eating difficulties.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills and clear goals rather than jargon. His approach blends several therapies. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and ACT methods to clarify values and build meaningful action.
He also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person’s story and motivational interviewing to support behavior change. In a typical session he will listen first, then help set small, achievable steps to test between meetings. He uses straightforward language and checks in about what is and isn’t working.
That makes sessions useful for people facing panic, obsessive thoughts, grief, anger, or life transitions. Dr. Graham accepts people from Michigan and also works with international clients in English.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so therapy can fit busy schedules and different comfort levels.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction even when anxiety or painful thoughts show up. It’s useful for worry, panic, and major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework tasks, which can reduce symptoms like panic, obsessive thoughts, or low mood.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest which methods might fit best. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches so the plan matches what you want to work on and how you prefer to work.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let you work face to face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or when fitting therapy into a busy day.
