About Charlie
Charlie Eliza Boutillette is a licensed professional counselor with 27 years of experience who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical support for depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and grief. Her tone is calm and straightforward, aiming to make therapy feel approachable for someone worried and unsure where to start.
She uses a collaborative, client-centered style that starts with listening. Sessions are meant to identify what matters most to the person and try concrete steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Charlie emphasizes small, doable changes rather than overwhelming strategies. Her approach also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice how their body and thoughts react to stress. That work can make it easier to step back from anxiety and respond differently.
She combines that with solution-focused tools to set clear goals and track progress week to week. Charlie’s long experience includes work with addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and family or parenting stress. She favors plain language and practical exercises so people can try new skills between sessions.
Her Colorado license is LPC. People who choose her often want a steady, respectful guide who will listen closely and help them build coping skills. Therapy with Charlie aims to strengthen communication, reduce overwhelm, and create measurable ways to feel more in control of daily life.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s goals. The therapist follows the person’s lead and helps them find their own solutions, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and relationship stress.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily reactions. These exercises can reduce reactivity to stress and make it easier to try different responses to anxiety or anger.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find motivation for change by exploring their own reasons and confidence. It is often used when someone is facing addictive patterns or when they need help moving toward new habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then try approaches together in a collaborative way. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video is difficult. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief written coaching. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work during life transitions.
