About Charles
Charles McBride is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oregon with 15 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, and self esteem challenges. He speaks English and has worked with a wide range of concerns, including issues around sexuality, grieving, parenting, sleep, and career change. Charles keeps his approach straightforward and approachable so people can feel understood quickly.
He draws on client-centered work to make sessions feel respectful and nonjudgmental. That means the person in the room sets the pace and direction, while he listens and reflects so goals become clearer. He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify thought patterns that keep problems going and to try new behaviors that help.
Charles has experience in residential substance use treatment and outpatient employee and family assistance programs. He has worked with first responders who have experienced trauma and with people dealing with co-occurring issues like mental health and substance use. That range shapes how he builds practical, personalized plans.
Sessions are collaborative and often goal-focused. Charles mixes warmth and a bit of humor while keeping work aimed at change. He believes that lasting improvements come when people shift both their thinking and what they do.
When starting, he helps clients create a treatment plan tailored to their needs. The focus is on small, manageable steps toward clearer thinking, healthier habits, and better day-to-day functioning.
