Charles Clendennen, LPC

Charles Clendennen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 29 years of experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety, and supports those facing relationship strain, grief, career changes, addiction, and compassion fatigue. He invites people ready for change to take small, practical steps toward feeling more capable and balanced.

Charles treats each person as the expert on their life. He listens for strengths and practical options, then works alongside clients to build coping skills and clearer decisions. Sessions focus on realistic steps people can try between meetings to reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

His background spans nearly three decades of practice in Texas settings where he worked with trauma, loss, and career concerns. That experience informs a steady, down-to-earth style that emphasizes what helps now and what will matter over time.

In the room he prioritizes straightforward conversation and concrete tools. People who come for help with control issues, post-traumatic stress, first responder strain, or finding purpose will find an approach built on collaboration and real-world strategies.

Charles also supports those navigating hospice and end-of-life counseling, forgiveness work, and strengthening self-love. He encourages a paced plan that matches each person’s goals and day-to-day needs.

How therapeutic approaches and online care fit together

Charles draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and trauma-informed care. One common approach focuses on building coping skills for stress and anxiety through breath work, activity planning, and small behavioral changes that lower daily tension and improve sleep. Another approach involves trauma-informed strategies that help people safely process difficult memories and reduce their impact on current life, often by pacing exposure and teaching grounding tools.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before suggesting specific techniques. Together they choose methods that match the person’s needs and preferences and adjust them as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue care while managing work, family, or relocation. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
