About Charlotte
Charlotte Gibbons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with 20 years of experience. She works with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, stress and anxiety, addictions, grief, codependency, and related issues.
She keeps sessions conversational and practical. Charlotte uses straightforward talk to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and on mindfulness to slow down and notice reactions.
Her work also includes techniques from dialectical behavior approaches to help manage strong emotions. Jungian ideas inform attention to personal meaning and recurring themes people bring into relationships. She blends these approaches rather than relying on a single method.
In sessions Charlotte discusses real-life steps people can try between meetings. That might look like simple behavior experiments, communication practice, or short mindfulness exercises. She pays attention to how family history and past wounds shape current choices.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or giving themselves up for others often come to her to learn clearer boundaries. She helps with parenting stress, caregiver strain, and the ripple effects of living with mood or addiction problems. Conversations aim to increase clarity about what a person wants and how to move toward it.
Charlotte has worked across varied settings over two decades and uses that experience to keep plans pragmatic. If someone wants coaching-style support alongside counseling, she integrates skills and short-term goals into the work.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping people name what matters to them. This approach helps clarify goals and builds on a person's own strengths to make changes in relationships and day-to-day choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, depression, or people-pleasing habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for handling intense emotions and improving communication. It can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when setting and keeping boundaries is difficult.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying one fixed model.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, make it easier to join from different locations, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the practical details so sessions match your schedule and life obligations.
