About Charles

Charles Michel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 31 years of clinical experience and formal training in psychology and social work. He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in social work, and he has built a long career supporting people through a broad range of emotional and practical challenges.

He has maintained a private practice for the past twenty years, working with individuals facing serious clinical disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD as well as those navigating everyday stressors like family conflict, relationship difficulties, career concerns, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, and life-stage transitions. His experience spans both acute clinical needs and the routines of daily living that shape wellbeing.

Charles approaches counseling with warmth and collaboration, valuing the therapeutic relationship as central to progress. His style is personal and cooperative, inviting clients to explore goals and build practical strategies together. He looks forward to helping people find clearer paths forward and strengthen their ability to cope with life’s demands.

Approaches and online care that fit your needs

Charles uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting, empathetic environment where a person’s own goals and strengths guide the work. This approach supports issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions by centering the client’s perspective. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Additionally, he incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities, offering concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Charles collaborates with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate what feels most helpful and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy with Charles can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy life, and access licensed professionals from a distance while working on practical strategies and emotional growth.
