About Charlie
Charlie Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and trauma. He speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. His approach is suited to people looking for steady, skills-based support during hard times.
Charlie draws on eleven years of social work experience in public-sector settings. He previously worked with Drug Court, Juvenile Courts, and Juvenile Justice Services. That background shapes his steady, results-oriented style and his comfort addressing substance use, behavioral concerns, and legal-system involvement.
In sessions he combines mindfulness practices with cognitive tools and acceptance-based strategies. He also uses attachment-focused ideas to look at how relationships influence feelings and behavior. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with space for learning new skills and trying them out between meetings.
Charlie earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from Weber State University. He later completed a Master degree in Forensic Social Work from the University of Utah. He uses that training to manage complex situations and coordinate care when needed.
People often come for help with grief, parenting strain, sleep or eating problems, work stress, or attention-related challenges. Charlie offers straightforward guidance for coping with change, improving communication, and reducing overwhelming emotions.
Before booking, confirm the current session formats and scheduling options. He practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English.
Mindfulness, ACT, and attachment ideas for online care
Charlie uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept away by them; this can reduce rumination and help with anxiety, stress, and emotion spikes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and take small, value-driven actions even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy ideas are brought into conversations to look at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and closeness struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they test skills, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. It also supports practicing mindfulness and skills in real-life moments and carrying strategies into daily routines.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
