Charlotte Gibbons

Charlotte Gibbons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of experience helping people manage anger, relationship strain, trauma, and everyday stress. She works with adults who face depression, anxiety, addiction concerns, parenting stress, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. Her style is warm and interactive and she emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions.

Charlotte favors a practical, talk-based approach. She listens first to understand each person's history and current struggles. Then she and the client build a plan that targets immediate problems while also exploring longer-term patterns that influence behavior and mood.

Her work blends cognitive-behavioral ideas with dialectical skills and psychodynamic perspectives. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice thoughts and body reactions in the moment. Jungian-informed ideas may come into play when exploring personal meaning and life patterns.

Sessions are collaborative and adaptable to what the client needs that week. Charlotte aims to teach tools that can be tried between meetings, such as thought-reframing, grounding practices, and emotion-regulation skills. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical steps toward healthier days.

Charlotte brings experience supporting people through grief, family conflict, caregiver stress, and transitions like separation or adoption issues. She encourages honest conversation and offers steady guidance while clients practice new ways of coping.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist listens closely and follows each person's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and work through relationship and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches specific skills to change them, which is useful for anger, anxiety, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion-regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage strong reactions and relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit best based on a person's goals, preferences, and immediate needs. Sessions are collaborative, and techniques can be adjusted as progress is made.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone conversations when less screen time is helpful. Discuss format preferences when scheduling so sessions match practical needs and therapeutic goals.
