Background and approach

She also assists with anger, intimacy concerns, and issues like codependency or feelings of emptiness. Charolette uses practical methods to build motivation and change patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts.

Solution-focused strategies help identify small, achievable changes that add up over time. People often come for help with relationships, caregiving strain, or the fallout from abuse and domestic violence. Charolette adapts the pace to what each person can manage, balancing safety with steady forward movement.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Clients and therapist set goals together, track progress, and revise plans when needed. The aim is clearer thinking, more control over daily choices, and greater confidence in handling life’s challenges.

Approaches that work well online for anxiety and trauma

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening-based relationship where the person's priorities lead the work. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try clearer, more useful ways of thinking. It is practical and often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because it breaks problems into steps that can be practiced between sessions.

Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change by building motivation and small commitments. It pairs well with work around addiction, behavior change, and getting past setbacks.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk through options, try methods, and adjust based on a client's goals and comfort. Decisions are collaborative so the plan fits the person's life and pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging lets people send short updates or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or a busy routine.
