About Charlotte
Charlotte Gibbons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, and stress.
Charlotte keeps sessions interactive and direct. She listens for how past experiences affect current family and relationship patterns. She uses straightforward talk, practical coping strategies, and reflective exploration to help people clarify goals and make change.
Her work draws on several approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-Centered Therapy guides conversations so the person’s priorities lead the work.
She also brings in Jungian ideas and mindfulness practices when those fit a person’s needs. That can mean noticing patterns that repeat across relationships or practicing simple grounding exercises to manage stress. These methods are mixed to suit what the person wants to address.
Charlotte has experience with a wide range of specific concerns including adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and first responder issues. She also works with grief, intimacy-related questions, addictions, ADHD, bipolar, and compassion fatigue.
If someone wants to start, the usual first steps are a short questionnaire and a first session to agree goals and a plan. This lets Charlotte and the person confirm how they will work together.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and uses reflective listening to shape sessions. It helps when someone wants a therapist to follow their lead and clarify what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers simple experiments to try different responses. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing stress in everyday life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These skills can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or when coping strategies need to become more reliable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals and preferences in the first sessions and suggest which methods to use together. This is a collaborative process where the plan can change as progress and needs become clearer.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or let someone avoid travel on busy days. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like CBT and DBT for remote sessions to focus on practical skills, thought experiments, and real-time problem solving.
