About Charlton

Charlton Rhodes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people navigate parenting and family-related concerns. He speaks plainly and works to make sessions practical and goal-oriented. Parents and caregivers will find a calm, steady presence who talks through problems and helps set clear next steps.

Charlton uses several approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. He draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in front of him.

Background and approach

He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing helps when change feels hard or motivation is low. Charlton holds a Master of Social Work degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and practices in Georgia as an LCSW and CSW.

The credential LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. He has five years of documented experience supporting people with issues such as parenting, addiction, relationship strain, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and ADHD. In sessions he prefers short-term, focused work when that fits a client’s goals, while staying open to deeper, longer-term support when needed.

He offers practical tools for managing stress, improving communication, and coping with life changes. Sessions aim to help parents and caregivers make steady, realistic progress. People who want straightforward coaching and therapy around family and parenting concerns will find his style direct and collaborative.

He helps clients set goals, try new strategies, and check what is working as therapy moves forward.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy means sessions focus on what matters most to the client. The therapist listens closely and adjusts suggestions based on your goals and preferences. This approach supports parents and caregivers who need practical help and a respectful, flexible process.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. In online sessions CBT is used to identify unhelpful patterns and practice new skills between meetings. This method is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and changes in routine tied to parenting and family life.

Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses supportive questions to build motivation and small steps toward action, which can work well for issues like substance use or starting new parenting strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try what fits, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to your goals and comfort level.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexible scheduling and easy access from home. Sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs and situations. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing parenting responsibilities and daily life.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
