Background and approach
His style is direct, warm, and interactive. Sessions aim to be practical and respectful. He listens first, then helps clients set small, realistic goals.
Conversations are guided by the client’s needs and lived experience. Charles uses several evidence-informed methods to support change in everyday life. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits.
He uses Emotionally-Focused and Gottman-based ideas when relationships and connection are central. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques help with commitment and short-term goal work. He practices in Florida and carries the listed credentials: NH LCMHC 3602 and FL LMHC MH13811.
Sessions are offered in English. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients are not accepted.

Approaches for family and parenting work online
Charles often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address family and parenting issues. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building small behavior changes that reduce stress and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name their feelings and rebuild connection when relationships feel strained or distant.He also draws on Client-Centered principles to keep sessions grounded in the client’s perspective. That means therapy begins with listening and follows the client’s priorities while working together to find what helps. Deciding on the best approach is collaborative and may shift as goals evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting schedules and everyday life. Remote work also lets people practice new skills between sessions and check in in shorter, flexible ways when needed.
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.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
