About Charlotte
Charlotte Gibbons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with 20 years of experience. She works with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, anxiety, depression, and stress. She also supports people facing issues like addiction, grief, ADHD, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.
Charlotte uses a straightforward, interactive style in sessions. She focuses on realistic steps people can try between meetings. Conversations examine how early family roles and expectations influence current behavior and feelings. Practical skills from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches are used alongside longer-term exploration when helpful.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults who report family problems, abandonment or adoption-related questions, blended family pressures, caregiver stress, and first responder issues. She combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with dialectical skills and Jungian ideas to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Sessions include direct problem-solving, learning coping skills, and looking at how family of origin patterns show up now. Charlotte pays attention to communication and control issues, commitment worries, and codependency dynamics. She also supports people working through divorce, separation, or complicated grief.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She asks clear questions, sets goals with the person in front of her, and adjusts the work as needs change. For people who want both skill-building and deeper reflection, she mixes short-term tools with longer discussions about personal history and meaning.
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, collaborative conversation where the person's concerns guide the work. It helps when someone needs a space to sort out feelings and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options based on what the person wants to change, their goals, and how they prefer to work. That collaborative planning helps shape treatment and can shift over time if a different method fits better.
