Charline uses clear, straightforward techniques to help people build coping skills.
She listens for each person's priorities and helps turn those into small, manageable steps.
How Charline works
Sessions tend to focus on what is getting in the way now and what can change in the coming weeks. Her practice draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and take meaningful action, and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity.
She also uses elements from dialectical behavior strategies for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. People come to Charline for many concerns, including relationship struggles, parenting stress, addiction and substance issues, ADHD, low self-esteem, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment and family of origin issues and the impacts of abandonment or codependency on daily life.
Charline aims to make therapy practical and collaborative. She helps clients set clear goals, build new skills, and practice them between sessions. The focus is on steady, useful change that fits a client's real world routines.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety, motivation problems, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It is often practical and skills-oriented. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus, which can help with anger, stress, and compassion fatigue.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative effort. Charline will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen work for exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support shorter, more frequent touchpoints and can help with between-session coaching or tracking skills practice.
