Charlotte Ludwig , LMHC

Charlotte Ludwig is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 15 years of experience across a variety of treatment settings. She approaches counseling with empathy and respect, offering a calm, supportive space where people can explore challenges and work toward meaningful change. Charlotte believes that asking for help is a strength and partners with clients to set realistic goals and develop practical steps for progress.

Her clinical background includes work with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and dependency on opiates and alcohol, as well as many years supporting people with dual diagnoses. She has helped clients coping with low self-esteem, domestic violence, homelessness, emotional abuse, impulsivity, interpersonal difficulties, trauma, grief and loss, anger management, isolation, and relapse. In addition, she brings focused experience addressing stress, addictions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Charlotte’s style avoids confrontation and judgment; she emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a central tool in the work. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered methods, solution-focused techniques, and motivational interviewing to tailor support to each person’s strengths and needs. As an LMHC, she combines clinical training with practical experience to guide clients toward lasting, positive changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Charlotte uses client-centered therapy to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where the client's perspective and goals guide the work - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing trauma, and improving interpersonal relationships. She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. Motivational interviewing is used when change feels difficult or ambivalent; it supports motivation and commitment for issues such as substance use and relapse prevention.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Charlotte works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs and goals, adapting techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for that individual.

Online therapy with Charlotte is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, work around geographic limitations, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to tailor pacing, session length, and communication style to best support each client’s progress.
