About Charles
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 29 years of practice, Charles Clendennen helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and career challenges. He works directly with clients to identify strengths and practical next steps. He views each person as the expert on their own story and focuses on concrete ways to move forward.
Charles uses straightforward conversation and problem-solving to address anxiety, stress, depression, and addiction concerns. He also addresses control issues, first responder stress, and compassion fatigue. Sessions include discussion of life purpose, forgiveness, self-love, and post-traumatic stress when these come up.
He encourages clients to name small, achievable changes. These changes are discussed and practiced in sessions. Charles aims to help people manage immediate distress and build clearer long-term plans.
His approach values the client’s experience first. He listens for practical barriers, then suggests coping options that fit the person’s daily life. He focuses on skills people can use between sessions as well as topics to explore in counseling.
Charles’s background spans nearly three decades of work in Texas. That experience informs how he recognizes common patterns in relationship and grief issues. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and on helping clients use personal strengths to cope. If you want to explore next steps, confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like
Charles uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address specific problems. One common approach focuses on identifying current patterns in relationships and behavior, then practicing new ways of responding to reduce conflict and stress. This helps with relationship strain, communication problems, and daily anxiety.Another approach targets trauma-related reactions by helping people recognize triggers and build skills to manage distressing memories and symptoms. This is useful for post-traumatic stress, first responder issues, and recovery after abuse or loss.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Charles will discuss your situation, goals, and preferences and help decide which techniques to try first. He adjusts plans as needed based on what helps most in real life.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They let a person use quieter surroundings, avoid driving, or schedule sessions around breaks and caregiving duties. Ask about available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
