Approaches for online and remote work
Charles often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what a person says, and supporting them to find their own answers; it can help with feelings of emptiness, shame, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people build practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Charles will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person needs.
