She focuses on anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach
Charlotte can include spiritual beliefs in counseling when a client requests that approach. Her background includes helping people through grief and major life transitions such as separation and divorce. She also has experience supporting people facing caregiver stress, feelings of abandonment, and post-traumatic stress.
Charlotte draws on her clinical experience to address motivation, confidence, and self-love in day-to-day life. Charlotte uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. She works at a steady pace, matching tools and conversations to what feels useful for the client.
Progress is framed as small steps and practical changes, not quick fixes. People meet with Charlotte for short-term focused work or longer-term support. She uses conversation, goal-setting, and coping skills to help people handle tough moments and build resilience over time.
Approaches that support anxiety and life changes online
Charlotte uses well-established, evidence-based techniques that translate well to remote sessions. One approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and activity scheduling; these tools help reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.Another approach centers on grief and loss work, guiding people through the emotions and decisions that follow major life changes. This work includes processing painful events, building routines, and finding ways to reconnect with personal values and hope.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client’s goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels helpful. Clients can expect to set concrete goals and review progress together so the treatment fits their needs and pace.
Online therapy here offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for quick notes, emotional support between sessions, and people who prefer writing over talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
