Her background spans three decades of clinical work in Louisiana and Florida settings. That experience includes supporting people dealing with substance-related problems and complex relationship dynamics. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape each plan of care.

In sessions she works collaboratively to set clear, manageable goals. Conversations tend to emphasize concrete strategies for stress and anxiety, ways to improve emotional connection, and tools for reducing problematic behaviors. Progress is reviewed and adjusted as needs change.

How evidence-based techniques guide online work

Dr. Charles uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety. One common approach focuses on teaching stress-management skills and coping strategies to reduce day-to-day anxiety and improve mood. These techniques help people notice triggers, try new responses, and build steady habits that reduce distress over time.

Another frequent emphasis is on addressing problematic patterns in relationships and intimacy. This work involves identifying unhelpful interaction cycles, practicing clearer communication, and trying small behavioral changes to rebuild trust and closeness. For addictions-related concerns, she emphasizes practical steps and relapse prevention strategies that support safer choices and clearer decision making.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is framed around shared decision making and regular review of what helps.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also make it possible to continue work through relocation or temporary scheduling conflicts while choosing approaches that fit everyday routines.
