Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Charlotte integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that support a meaningful life - helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed in early relationships to improve connection, trust, and emotional regulation, which is useful for intimacy, family, and abandonment-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mood-related issues.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Charlotte works with clients to assess their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then adjusts methods over time so treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage geographic barriers, and maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic techniques to these formats so clients can engage in meaningful work from wherever they are.
