About Charlotte
Charlotte Gibbons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people navigate relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns like depression and anxiety. She works with individuals facing stress, addiction issues, grief, ADHD, and questions about identity and intimacy. Her tone is warm and practical, aimed at people who need direct help now.
She keeps sessions interactive and straightforward. Conversations focus on what is happening in day-to-day life and on small changes that can make routines easier.
Background and approach
Charlotte avoids labels and listens first, so goals come from the person in the room rather than a checklist. Her work draws from several approaches, including client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and dialectical skills. She blends those to fit each person’s needs, shifting between problem-solving, emotional regulation, and examining deeper patterns when that helps.
Charlotte has particular experience with family-of-origin issues, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, and fatherhood issues. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, first responder strain, abandonment, and the fallout from divorce or separation. Across sessions she focuses on clear steps and usable skills.
That might mean identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing grounding exercises, or trying new communication moves with a partner or co-parent. The work aims to reduce overwhelm and help people feel more capable in daily life.

How therapeutic approaches fit online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the person's lead. In practice this means sessions emphasize what matters to the individual, helping them set goals and shape the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and coping skills.Finding the right approach is often a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their situation, try out techniques, and adjust the mix of methods based on needs and preferences. That collaborative process aims to make therapy feel relevant and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls can work when bandwidth is low, and text or chat allow brief check-ins between sessions. These options give flexibility for different days, work breaks, and energy levels while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
