About Charlotte
Charlotte Gibbons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with 20 years of experience helping people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and anger. She offers practical support for coping with life changes, addictions, grief, and compassion fatigue.
Her tone is warm and direct, and she focuses on clear steps clients can use between sessions. Her style is interactive and respectful.
Background and approach
She meets people where they are and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused, with time spent on skills practice and problem-solving as needed. Charlotte draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities.
She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT-style techniques for managing strong emotions. Mindfulness practices and Jungian ideas about patterns and meaning are woven in when helpful. Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including adoption and foster care questions, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, first responder issues, and fatherhood-related strains.
She adapts tools to fit each person’s situation rather than using one fixed method. People who choose her can expect practical strategies, collaborative planning, and clear suggestions for coping outside sessions. She invites clients to set concrete goals and checks in on progress.
Her aim is to support steady steps toward better functioning and greater emotional balance.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Charlotte uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s concerns and pace, focusing on listening, empathy, and what matters most to the client. This approach helps people who need acceptance and a clear space to talk through problems.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools for changing unhelpful thinking and building new habits, useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques appear when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are a priority, offering specific skills to manage intense feelings and reduce impulsive actions.
Charlotte works collaboratively to find the best fit. She will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on the person’s goals and feedback. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process rather than a one-time decision.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, or when a shorter conversation is needed during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
