Charlotte Windom

Charlotte Windom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of practice. She greets people with kindness and steady support. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, depression, and coping with life changes.

Charlotte says her own life experience makes her a more compassionate counselor. She uses that perspective alongside clinical skills gained through education and years of practice. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through difficult moments and make practical changes.

Her training includes a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a minor in Psychology from Troy University. She has worked in private practice, community mental health, university counseling services, juvenile probation liaison roles, and child advocacy settings. Those roles shaped how she approaches crisis situations and ongoing stress.

In practice, she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Sessions typically focus on developing coping skills, improving communication, and managing strong emotions like anger.

She has a history of developing programs for young people, including creating a Child/Adolescent Day Treatment Program that ran for many years. That experience informs her work with people facing family of origin issues, adoption or foster care questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and other complex life challenges.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small steps toward a more meaningful life, which can help with anger, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical tools to change patterns. It is useful for stress, depression, and managing strong emotions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and improving how people express needs and care in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest techniques from these methods. Together they adjust the work as progress and needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and keep check-ins shorter when needed. It can also allow work on skills like emotion regulation and communication from a familiar setting while keeping scheduling flexible for everyday commitments.
