About Charlotte
Charlotte Gibbons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, anger, anxiety, depression, and other life changes. Charlotte works with clients who face issues like addiction, grief, low self-esteem, and ADHD.
Her approach is conversational and practical. She draws on client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral tools to focus on what is happening now. She also uses dialectical behavior ideas and elements of Jungian and mindfulness work when they fit the situation.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and looks for small, concrete changes people can try between meetings. That can mean practicing new ways to speak up, testing an alternative behavior, or learning a short coping skill to interrupt escalating anger. She explains ideas plainly and checks in about what helps.
Charlotte has worked across family and cultural contexts, so she pays attention to how background and roles shape stress and expectations. She also supports people facing caregiver strain, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care matters, and fatherhood issues.
People who prefer a direct, interactive style will find sessions that focus on specific goals and skills. The emphasis is on clear steps and honest conversation rather than labels or long theoretical lectures.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a clear, shared agenda. Online sessions can use that same approach to set short-term goals and decide what to work on each week. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives specific tools to change patterns. That makes CBT easy to use in remote sessions because skills and homework can be explained, practiced, and reviewed by video or phone. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Those DBT skills can be taught in brief demonstrations and practiced between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to pick methods that fit their needs and goals. If one approach isn’t helping, she will discuss alternatives and adjust the plan together.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people use video or phone to practice communication skills in real life contexts. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill coaching to an online setting so sessions stay practical and focused.
