About Charlton

Charlton Rhodes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with five years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, substance concerns, grief, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than labels or long lectures.

Charlton uses straightforward, goal-oriented work. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought that feed anger and repeated reactions. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to build small, doable changes that people can try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help changing behaviors tied to addiction or other high-stakes problems.

In sessions he listens for what matters to the person and then tests approaches that fit their life. That can mean practicing new ways to respond in heated moments, setting boundaries, or breaking stressful problems into manageable tasks. He also supports clients coping with grief, career stress, ADHD-related challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Charlton earned his Master of Social Work from Florida Gulf Coast University and holds the credential CSW as well as LCSW. He works in Georgia and provides services in English. His style is direct and practical, aimed at helping people reduce anger and improve daily functioning through concrete techniques.

If a person is thinking about starting, they can expect a straightforward first session that focuses on current problems and practical next steps.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. It helps when someone wants a therapist who follows their priorities and helps shape goals from the client’s own concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies thinking and behavior patterns that keep anger or anxiety going and teaches specific skills to change those patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or dealing with addictive behaviors by exploring motivation and steps they feel ready to take.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, whether that means targeting quick behavior changes, exploring trauma-related responses, or building motivation for long-term change. This decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Video can support role-plays and skill practice, while audio-only sessions may be a better match for low-bandwidth times or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Online work lets the practical tools of CBT and solution-focused methods be practiced in day-to-day life without promising any specific format.
