About Charles
Charles Mott is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience based in New York. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. He also supports those struggling with addictions and with attention and focus concerns labeled ADHD.
Charles works in English and accepts clients internationally. He aims to make sessions feel open and nonjudgmental so people can talk about hard thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
In early meetings he listens to what matters most and helps set clear, realistic goals. Sessions are practical and often include small skills to try between meetings. Charles draws on approaches that help people notice unhelpful thinking, manage strong reactions, and build motivation for change.
He uses tools from cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, and motivational interviewing to tailor support. That mix helps when someone struggles with panic, social anxiety, or repeating patterns that get in the way. Conversations often focus on day-to-day choices - how to reduce panic symptoms, improve communication, or cope with big life transitions.
He will work with each person to track progress and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and better functioning in everyday life. People who prefer direct, practical sessions tend to fit well with his style.
He welcomes questions about how the work will go and what to expect in the first few meetings.
How therapeutic approaches work online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for anxiety, panic, and patterns that keep people stuck. DBT, dialectical behavior therapy, teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal communication, and reducing impulsive behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and builds readiness for steps like reducing substance use or starting new routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Charles will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. He then adapts techniques from the approaches above to fit the situation and revises the plan as progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy easier to fit into busy days. Video is good for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and text messaging are helpful for quick updates, check-ins between sessions, or practicing skills in the moment. These options add flexibility so people can focus on change rather than travel logistics.
