Background and approach
Sessions tend to center on clear goals and steps you can try between meetings. He listens for what’s getting in the way of daily functioning and helps people find small changes that add up. His approach includes techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to address thinking patterns and emotional regulation.
He also uses motivational interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change and stay motivated. These methods are explained in plain language and tailored to each person’s situation. Many people come for help with panic attacks, social anxiety, and trouble communicating with others.

Progress is tracked in simple ways so people can see what’s working. The goal is to leave clients with clearer coping skills and a realistic plan for moving forward.
Using CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing Online
Charles uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and problems with focus.He also applies dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques can be helpful for intense emotions, panic attacks, and managing urges related to addictions.
Motivational interviewing is used to uncover a person’s own reasons for change and to build commitment in small steps. This approach supports people who feel stuck or uncertain about making changes.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches in session, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so care matches their needs.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick coaching, or when writing feels easier than talking.
