Background and approach

Therapy sessions are paced to match individual needs and comfort levels. Their approach mixes existential questions about meaning and purpose with hands-on strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and communication.

Sessions often balance reflection about values with concrete exercises for changing unhelpful patterns. Charles also addresses concerns like eating and sleeping problems, intimacy issues, career stress, parenting challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. They offer multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules.

Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. People who meet with Charles can expect a straightforward, compassionate style. The goal is to reduce what gets in the way of daily functioning and to help clients move toward choices that match their values.

Work can include short-term skill building or longer exploration of life themes.

Online support

How different approaches fit into online therapy

Existential Therapy invites conversation about meaning, choice, and what matters most in life. It helps people facing big transitions, emptiness, or questions about purpose by encouraging honest reflection and personal responsibility.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small, committed steps toward them. It teaches practical skills for accepting difficult thoughts and emotions while behaving in ways that matter to the client.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current feelings and reactions. It is useful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and family of origin concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Charles will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That might mean combining existential reflection with ACT exercises and attachment-focused work over several sessions.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in during a busy day, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people maintain therapy through work, parenting, or travel while using approaches that match their needs.
