How Charles works
Andrew draws on approaches that help clients change unhelpful thoughts and improve emotional connections. He uses techniques that teach present-moment awareness and strengthen motivation to make lasting changes. The work is collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs.
In sessions, he listens for patterns that keep people stuck and then tries small, doable steps to shift those patterns. Conversations often include skills practice, reflection, and real-life assignments to test new ways of coping. Progress is measured by things that matter to the client, like better sleep, calmer reactions, or clearer communication.
Andrew practices in Tennessee and holds Tennessee and North Carolina LMFT credentials. He offers several online formats to fit different schedules and preferences. People meet him for structured work on specific goals or for ongoing support through life’s transitions.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and reorganize the way they respond to strong feelings. It focuses on identifying emotions and changing interaction patterns that keep someone stuck, which can help with relationship strain and attachment wounds.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress. Sessions often include clear goals, structured exercises, and homework to practice new skills between meetings, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and life context and then suggest methods to try. Both therapist and client adjust the plan as needed to find what works best for the person's situation.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual cues, phone can fit into a busy day, live chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and daily routines while keeping therapy consistent and practical.
