About Charles

Charles Christensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho who combines three years of clinical experience with personal experience in addiction and recovery. He earned his graduate counseling degree from Boise State University and completed undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University. His background informs a compassionate, practical approach that centers on helping people reclaim a sense of worth and build forward momentum.

Charles works with clients facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and major life changes, and he offers particular attention to attachment issues, blended family dynamics, codependency, communication challenges, and substance use concerns. He also supports those dealing with guilt and shame, isolation, men’s issues, and questions about life purpose. His practice blends evidence-based techniques with the perspective of someone who has walked a recovery path himself.

Charles emphasizes the importance of a strong therapeutic connection, noting research that shows rapport is a key factor in positive outcomes. He aims to create a collaborative space where clients can explore their struggles and identify meaningful steps toward change. He encourages clients to seek a therapist who feels like the right fit and supports finding the approach that matches each person’s goals and circumstances.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Charles uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, practice present-moment awareness, and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections, which can help with attachment issues, family conflict, and blended family concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve daily functioning.



Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Charles takes a collaborative stance with clients to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods over time based on progress and client feedback.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - licensed professionals can meet with clients by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or geographic constraints and allow clients to access consistent care from their home or another convenient location. For many people, the convenience and variety of online modalities support ongoing engagement and steady progress in therapy.
