About Char
Char Midkiff is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 14 years of experience helping people through hard times. She works in Florida and draws on personal and professional experience to guide clients toward clearer thinking and healthier habits. Char focuses on practical support for everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, and anger.
She uses straightforward conversation and goal-oriented work in sessions. Char blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods.
Background and approach
She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help people calm intense emotions and stay present. Char understands life transitions and the strain they cause. Her background includes navigating blended family dynamics, caregiving and end-of-life situations, and recovery from serious illness.
Those experiences inform how she helps people set realistic steps and manage overwhelm. Sessions are aimed at building skills rather than labels. Clients can expect help with coping strategies, setting small goals, and practicing new ways to respond to triggers like anger or anxiety.
Char also supports people dealing with addiction, career shifts, parenting questions, and identity or life-purpose concerns. Her approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens first, then suggests tools based on what a person needs right now.
The focus is on usable strategies that fit daily life, so progress can happen between sessions.

How Char’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience before offering direction. Online sessions using this approach emphasize being heard and working at the client’s pace, which can help when sorting complex feelings like grief or identity questions.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. In online sessions CBT can include thought records, behavioral experiments, and homework that a person practices between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and respond differently to anger triggers.
She will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals. Figuring out the best approach is a collaborative process - Char uses initial sessions to learn what helps and adjusts methods over time based on progress and preference.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls let people read nonverbal cues during deeper work, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to keep momentum between meetings and to practice new skills in daily life.
