About Charlotte
Charlotte Gibbons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twenty years of experience helping people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting stress. She works with adults who are managing addictions, grief, ADHD, and changes like separation or major life transitions. Her approach is practical and respectful, aimed at making daily life feel more manageable for you and your family.
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on clear goals and honest conversation.
Background and approach
She listens first, then offers tools and strategies you can try between meetings. Clinically she blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on Jungian ideas and mindfulness practices to support self-understanding and emotional regulation.
Those methods are adjusted to your needs rather than used as a fixed program. Charlotte treats topics such as commitment and communication problems, family of origin concerns, blended family issues, and the stress faced by caregivers and first responders. She also addresses abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and compassion fatigue for helping professionals.
Located in Utah, she brings two decades of experience into a collaborative process. Her sessions aim to clarify next steps, reduce overwhelm, and build coping skills that fit your everyday schedule. If you want straightforward, empathetic support for real-life problems, she offers that in a respectful, nonjudgmental way.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters to you, and helps you find your own solutions. This approach is useful for relationship stress, self-esteem, and making sense of life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses concrete exercises and homework to build new habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. CBT works well for managing panic, phobias, compulsive patterns, and everyday stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating emotions and handling conflict. It teaches practical techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and better communication. Those skills can help with anger, mood swings, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to choose methods that match your goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video is useful for longer, interactive sessions; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let you check in between appointments or use shorter exchanges during a break at work. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into your routine.
