About Charlotte

Charlotte Beachem is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 23 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, grief, and a wide range of family and relationship concerns. Her style is direct and supportive, offering practical feedback and steady encouragement so clients can feel stronger and more capable.

She emphasizes building on existing strengths and restoring hope during hard times. Charlotte uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to address problems that get in the way of daily life.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach skills for managing emotions and making different choices. Attachment-based and client-centered ideas guide how she works with relationship and family concerns. Sessions focus on real, usable tools.

Clients can expect to talk through patterns, practice coping strategies, and set small goals that build confidence. The aim is to reduce symptoms and increase satisfaction in relationships, parenting, work, and daily routines. Her background includes long-term clinical work with people dealing with complex histories such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, chronic illness, and caregiving stress.

That experience informs a compassionate approach to struggles like codependency, commitment and communication problems, and compassion fatigue. Charlotte approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She listens first, then helps shape a plan that fits each person’s needs and life circumstances.

Her work is practical and grounded in helping clients make steady, manageable changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on values-based actions to move forward. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce worry, improve sleep, and help with mood or addictive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and communication, and it can help with intimacy and family dynamics.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest one or a blend of approaches. That decision is collaborative and may shift as needs change during treatment.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy family schedules and for people in different places. These options make it easier to fit sessions into parenting, work, or caregiving routines while keeping therapy consistent. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, provide feedback, and support progress across day-to-day challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a 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.
