About Charlotte
Charlotte Cox uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress and anxiety. She is a Pennsylvania-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with four decades of experience. Charlotte writes plainly and focuses on clear steps people can take.
She encourages small, steady changes and respects each persons knowledge of their own life. Her work centers on everyday concerns like parenting strain, low self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing first responder stress, veteran and armed forces issues, guilt and shame, and end-of-life or hospice situations.
How Charlotte works
Charlotte has long experience with trauma, including combat-related trauma. Sessions focus on defining the specific problem and trying manageable ways to deal with it. She blends approaches to help clients build skills, shift unhelpful thoughts, and act on personal values.
Therapy often includes short exercises to practice between meetings. Charlotte believes clients bring strengths that can guide change. She helps people identify those strengths and use them to solve problems.
Her manner is direct, encouraging, and grounded in practical tools honed over many years. She works with people who want help making changes now and planning for the future. Starting therapy is framed as a step-by-step process, with scheduling and formats chosen to fit each persons needs.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking committed steps toward those values while learning simple ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for issues like worry, insomnia, and workplace stress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Charlotte works with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She combines techniques when that makes sense and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs to change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine while still using ACT and CBT techniques in practical ways.
