Dr. Charles Graham

Dr. Charles Graham is a licensed clinical social worker (LMSW) with 20 years of practice experience. He works with people facing anger, anxiety, depression, addiction, and stress. He aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them.

Dr. Graham uses straightforward conversation to identify practical steps a person can try between sessions. He adapts his approach to the issue at hand instead of using the same plan for everyone. That means sessions can focus on coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking, or building motivation depending on the need.

Across two decades in public and private settings, he has supported people dealing with trauma, substance use, relationship concerns, grief, and questions about identity and purpose. His work also covers attention and behavior challenges, sleep and eating concerns, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.

His style is accepting, optimistic, and interactive. He combines methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and client-centered therapy to fit each person’s goals and preferences.

Clients can expect goal-focused conversations that aim to reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning. He encourages small, measurable steps and checks progress over time.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns that worsen mood or behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving day-to-day coping, which can help with intense anger and impulsive behaviors.

Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day. Online sessions can make it simpler to meet when travel or time is difficult, and they allow focused conversations without a long commute. Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm which formats are offered before booking so sessions match your needs.
