Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Charles integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in navigating emotional pain and practical challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and values-driven change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that formed in early relationships and explores how those patterns affect current connections and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop skills to manage mood, cravings, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Charles works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors interventions to each person's situation and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, reach support during transitions, and maintain continuity of care across schedules.
