About Charlotte
Charlotte Gibbons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, stress, anxiety, and related issues including grief and addiction.
She uses straightforward, interactive sessions that focus on practical steps and honest conversation. Charlotte draws on client-centered methods to listen and understand a person's goals. She also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage strong emotions.
Sessions move at a practical pace. She helps people sort priorities, try new behaviors, and notice what changes. Homework and skill practice are common when a plan calls for them. The therapist also brings concepts from Jungian and mindfulness therapies to support reflection and awareness.
Charlotte has worked with people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and first responder challenges. She also addresses parenting topics, fatherhood issues, and coping with life transitions such as divorce and separation.
Her approach is collaborative: she reviews progress and adjusts methods as needed. People can expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and practical coaching aimed at concrete problems. If someone prefers a direct, skills-oriented approach that also leaves room for deeper reflection, this style may fit.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Charlotte uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach suits worries, anxiety, and mood concerns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy to teach practical emotion-regulation and interpersonal skills useful for stress and relationship conflicts. Client-centered therapy provides a framework for listening and shaping goals around what matters to the person.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to identify what helps most and adjusts methods as progress is tracked. That means sessions can shift toward skills training, problem-solving, or deeper reflection depending on needs and preferences.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people use video or audio depending on comfort, and support continuing work when life circumstances change.
