About Charlotte

Charlotte Beachem is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 23 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship or family concerns. She also supports people facing issues like ADHD, anger, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and career stress.

Charlotte keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She offers clear feedback and helps people identify small changes they can try between meetings. The emphasis is on building confidence, making different choices, and handling immediate problems so daily life feels more manageable.

Her approach mixes well-known behavior-focused methods with relational work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills help with emotional regulation and coping when feelings run high.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas to look at values and connection patterns. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she listens and reflects what matters to each person. These methods are combined, not presented as a single fixed program.

Charlotte’s style is direct and practical. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps. For someone who finds social situations or performance pressure difficult, she offers tools to reduce avoidance and practice new behaviors in ordinary settings.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.

Approaches used in online sessions and practical fit

Charlotte commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to see what changes in daily life. ACT looks at what matters to the client and supports making choices that align with those values despite uncomfortable feelings.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will discuss goals, test methods in session, and adapt support based on what helps you make steady progress. The therapist and client work together to decide which strategies to practice between meetings.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, shorten travel time, and allow regular check-ins from a familiar setting. Some formats use less bandwidth and can be shorter for quick skill reviews, while others allow longer, more in-depth work. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your daily routine and needs.
