About Charles
Charles Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, anger, and related concerns. He aims to make the first steps into therapy easier for people who are nervous about reaching out.
Charles focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Sessions are practical and direct, with attention to immediate concerns like panic, intrusive thoughts, mood swings, and anger flare-ups.
Background and approach
He listens closely and helps clients break problems into manageable steps. Over two decades in practice have exposed him to a wide range of situations. That experience is used to help people find coping strategies that fit their daily lives.
He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns that cause distress. Charles also works with first responder issues, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and paranoia. He aims to tailor strategies to the person in front of him rather than using one fixed method.
The focus is on small changes that make daily life easier. People who choose Charles can expect straightforward guidance and steady support. He encourages honest conversation and practical homework between sessions when that will help.
Taking the step to start therapy is recognized as an important move toward feeling better.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Charles draws on common evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and on managing intense emotions. One approach targets thought patterns and coping skills to reduce anxiety and depression by helping people notice, test, and reframe distressing thoughts. Another approach focuses on emotional regulation and practical tools to manage anger, mood swings, and traumatic reactions so daily life becomes more manageable.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then tailor techniques to those needs. Clients are invited to try methods and give feedback so the plan can be adjusted together.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can handle quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or irregular shifts.
