Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Sessions with Charles Allen

Charles Allen uses approaches that support couples and individuals in practical, relationship-focused ways. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and managing conflict within partnerships; it is especially useful for couples wanting to restore intimacy or prepare for marriage. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and active listening, allowing clients to explore their own values and solutions while feeling understood, which can help with family issues, fatherhood concerns, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies to address them, often used for anger management, trauma-related symptoms, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Charles Allen works collaboratively with each person or couple to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors sessions so that techniques align with the client’s priorities and stage of change.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and varying comfort levels with remote care.
