Dr. Charles uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She explains options and works with each person to decide what to try next. Progress is tracked through short-term goals and regular check-ins.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Dr. Charles uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and replacing them with practical alternatives; these methods help with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching new ways to respond to triggers. Behavioral strategies involve setting small, achievable tasks and tracking progress; these support people working on addictions or changing relationship behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review what has or hasn’t helped before and discuss options. The therapist and client decide collaboratively which techniques to try and adjust plans based on goals and response.
