About Charlotte

Charlotte Buelow is a licensed independent social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and career questions. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person. Her approach aims to make room for honest talk and steady steps forward.

Charlotte holds an LISW, which means she is a licensed independent social worker in Ohio. In sessions she focuses on immediate concerns and practical next steps.

Background and approach

She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to look at thoughts and patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities and pace. When trauma is involved, she may use EMDR to address distressing memories when it fits a client’s needs.

Charlotte brings about five years of clinical experience to her work in Ohio. She emphasizes clear communication and gentle guidance rather than judgment. Expect straightforward conversation, collaborative goal-setting, and skill-building for coping with everyday stress and tougher life changes.

Parents and caregivers often seek her out for help with parenting strain, caregiver stress, relationship struggles, and family-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness. Her style balances practical techniques with attention to personal meaning.

Sessions can include short-term approaches like solution-focused work or deeper narrative work that helps rewrite old stories. The overall aim is to help people find choices and small, doable changes that improve daily life.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist creates space for people to name what matters and set the pace. This approach helps with building trust, sorting priorities, and deciding what to work on first.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a method used when trauma memories cause ongoing distress. When appropriate, it helps reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and the ways they affect daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and comfort levels and help choose methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let sessions feel face-to-face, phone sessions remove the need for video, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit those who prefer brief, written check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
