About Charles
Charles Tyson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Minnesota and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with six years of clinical experience. Charles lists anger among many concerns they work with, alongside stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship and family issues, and parenting challenges.
Charles describes a practice that centers direct, honest conversation. Sessions tend to focus on understanding how feelings show up in day-to-day life and on practical steps to change patterns that cause regret or distance. They prefer straightforward interaction and often use video so people and Charles can get to know each other faster. Phone and text contact are mentioned as options when those fit a client's needs.
In clinical work Charles combines several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used for shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters, accept difficult feelings, and take meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas inform how past relationships affect current responses and closeness.
Clients can expect clear feedback and a focus on skills that apply outside sessions. Charles also brings attention to social context and identity as factors in mental health. They have experience with grief, substance use concerns, eating and sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and compassion fatigue among other issues.

Approaches in remote sessions and practical fit
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anger gets in the way of important relationships or goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that feed upset and teaches concrete tools for changing reactions and coping in the moment. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and reactivity, which can clarify why anger shows up in relationships.Picking the best approach is something the therapist will do together with the client. Charles will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, and then recommend ways to try different methods. That collaborative process helps narrow down practical steps to try between sessions.
The practice mentions using video sessions to get to know people more quickly and notes phone and text as alternative ways to connect when those fit better. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what will be used. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so skills can be practiced in everyday life.
