About Charlotte
Charlotte Windom is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. She also helps people manage family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family questions, and communication problems.
She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people notice patterns that come from their childhood and family roles. Sessions focus on identifying what keeps problems active and testing small changes that feel doable. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills to address unhelpful thoughts and strong emotions.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Human Services and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Troy University. She has worked in private practice, community mental health, university counseling services, juvenile probation liaison roles, child advocacy, and program coordination for child and adolescent services. That mix gives her experience with a range of life stages and family situations.
In sessions she often blends Client-Centered methods with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take concrete steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas are used when emotion regulation or relationship patterns are central. The emphasis is on practical skills, clearer communication, and manageable behavior change.
Her work has included creating and running a child/adolescent day treatment program and supporting caregivers under stress. People who want to understand how family patterns shape their current choices may find her approach direct and focused on real changes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take actions that align with those values. It often focuses on reducing avoidance and making small behavior changes that fit everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and how emotions drive interaction, useful when relationship issues are central.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying active skills when needed, and using client-centered conversation when reflection or values clarification is more useful.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical needs. It can also allow shorter check-ins, use of exercises between meetings, and continued practice of skills in everyday settings. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches for remote sessions while focusing on practical skills, clearer communication, and behavior change.
