About Charles

Charles Roberts is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy challenges. He speaks plainly and listens first, meeting clients where they are. He encourages small steps and practical strategies that fit each person’s life.

His presence is steady and supportive for those ready to make change. Roberts draws on ten years of professional experience and long-term personal recovery from substance use to inform his work.

Background and approach

He uses evidence-based methods that include cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. He also incorporates attachment-focused ideas to help people understand relationship patterns and build new ways of connecting. In sessions he focuses on concrete skills and real-life problems.

That can mean planning how to manage urges, practicing communication moves, developing grounding practices for anxiety, or working through grief one step at a time. His style is collaborative - he helps people set goals and choose tools that feel realistic for their daily lives.

He has experience with a wide range of concerns such as trauma, eating and behavioral addictions, bipolar mood challenges, and family of origin issues. He also addresses topics like body image, codependency, and blended family stress. Roberts is licensed in Mississippi and holds credential information consistent with MS and UT licensing.

Sessions are offered in English and Roberts is open to working with international clients. He aims to create an atmosphere of respect and practical support, helping people move from merely coping toward a clearer sense of direction and greater stability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns in relationships and how early bonds influence current trust and closeness. Online sessions can explore these patterns through conversation and homework aimed at changing everyday interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It translates well to remote work with structured exercises, thought records, and skill practice between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort with online tools. That collaborative decision is revisited as work progresses so the plan remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and real-time interaction. Phone sessions provide a simple option when screens aren’t convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, exercises, and support between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work through transitions or geographic distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
