About Charles
Charles Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. He spent many years in church music ministry before returning to school to earn a master’s degree in psychology. He then worked in public mental health for 15 years and has run a private practice since 2010. He draws on a long career to support people facing relationship and family concerns.
He focuses on relationship, intimacy, and family issues. He helps people facing commitment struggles, communication breakdowns, infidelity, and the strain of life changes. He also works with those dealing with fatherhood questions, divorce and separation, family of origin concerns, and post-traumatic stress.
His approach blends client-centered care with practical techniques. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals. He also incorporates elements from the Gottman Method and hypnotherapy when appropriate.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. He aims to help couples rebuild connection and individuals manage anger or traumatic reactions. Conversations emphasize clear communication, workable tools, and steps clients can try between sessions.
With 28 years of clinical experience, he brings both life experience and long-term practice to his work. People who value direct guidance and steady support may find his style helpful. To start, clients follow an online matching process and schedule sessions based on availability.
Approaches that guide online work and fitting therapy into life
Client-centered work places the client’s experience at the center of the session. The therapist listens carefully and helps people name what matters most to them, then shapes conversations around those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it offers concrete exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or blend methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That means trying a few strategies and adjusting what isn’t helping so sessions stay relevant and practical.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online therapy lets them fit sessions into busy days, turn a short break into a check-in, reduce travel time, or use video or phone when that better suits their routine. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered work to online sessions by assigning simple exercises, practicing communication skills together, and reviewing progress between visits.
