About Charles

Charles Burgett is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) licensed in Kentucky with 22 years of professional experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, and depression. He also addresses concerns such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, men's issues, midlife transitions, panic attacks, and self-love.

Charles uses direct conversation and practical, evidence-informed techniques to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings. He adjusts the pace and topics to what a person needs each week rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

In session he listens for how anger shows up in daily life - at work, with partners, or in internal self-talk. He helps people name triggers, slow reactions, and try alternative responses. For relationship concerns he looks at interaction patterns and communication habits that increase conflict or distance.

Charles draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to organize sessions around skills, real-life experiments, and ongoing problem solving. He encourages practical homework that fits into a person's routine. His approach aims to reduce reactive behavior and increase clarity about choices.

People who choose him will find straightforward, goal-focused work that is adaptable across a range of life stressors. He practises in Kentucky and works in English.

Approaches you may use and how online sessions work

Charles describes his work as using evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach is skills-focused work that teaches practical tools for managing strong reactions, like breathing, grounding, and brief cognitive shifts to reduce reactivity. These methods help with anger that shows up in daily life and with panic or anxiety symptoms.

Another strand is relational work that looks at communication patterns and interaction habits. This approach helps people notice how their responses affect others and practice different ways of speaking and listening to reduce conflict and increase closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Charles will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. He adjusts the plan based on what works and what doesn’t, so therapy stays practical and focused on tangible steps.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use quieter surroundings, avoid camera use when preferred, or schedule sessions during a work break. Licensed professionals can adapt the pace and format to match a person’s routine and goals.
