Charles “Andrew” Baskin is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people cope with stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and depression. He works with individuals facing relationship tension, caregiver strain, and problems with self-esteem. Andrew brings 14 years of clinical experience to sessions and practices in Tennessee.

He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens first, then helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck. Together they try small changes to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and manage strong emotions like anger.

Andrew draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build calmer habits. He also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to clarify what matters in relationships and to improve emotional connection during hard conversations.

People who work with him learn simple tools for day-to-day life. That can mean short breathing or grounding practices, clearer ways to ask for needs, or behavior steps to lower stress. The focus is on skills that fit into a busy schedule.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Andrew emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes and supports clients as they apply new habits between visits. He aims to help people feel more in control of their reactions and more confident in relationships.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express the emotions that matter in relationships. In practice this means noticing what gets in the way during hard conversations and practicing clearer emotional responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to ease symptoms like anxiety or anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods together. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods if something isn’t working.

The biography doesn’t list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can support practicing skills between sessions and make follow-up easier while maintaining a routine with a licensed professional.
