How his approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on an accepting, person-led conversation where the therapist listens and follows your pace; it helps when someone needs a steady, empathic space to sort through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches specific skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and low self esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns of emotional connection and helps people name emotions and shift how they relate to others, which can be relevant to relationship and intimacy concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Charles will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together you will try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps in daily life and relationships.
