About Charlotte

Charlotte Gibbons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people navigate relationship, family, trauma, and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, ADHD, and stress. She speaks English and sees clients from Utah and international locations.

Charlotte brings a warm, interactive style to sessions. She treats people with respect and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. Conversations are tailored to each person so therapy fits their needs and goals.

Her work blends practical strategies and deeper reflection. She uses elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going. She also draws on dialectical ideas to help manage intense emotions and on Jungian perspectives to explore meaning and identity.

Mindfulness Therapy is part of her approach and she often includes simple practices to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away. Client-Centered Therapy grounds sessions in the person’s priorities and lived experience.

Charlotte has experience addressing complex family dynamics including blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, fatherhood issues, and family-of-origin problems. She also helps people facing workplace stress, compassion fatigue, first responder strain, and the long-term effects of abandonment or separation.

Her goal is to help people develop clearer choices and manageable skills. She works collaboratively to build a plan that fits daily life and supports lasting change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Charlotte uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and support clearer choices. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person's concerns and values, so sessions adapt to whatever matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) supplies concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. That process is shared and flexible rather than fixed from the start.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, shorten travel time, and allow quieter, focused check-ins during a work break. It also makes therapy accessible for people who live outside the therapist's city or who prefer meeting from another location. A clinician will help match format and approach to what works best for daily life.

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.
