Step 1
About Charlotte
Charlotte Beachem is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan. She has 23 years of experience as a psychotherapist and helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and other life challenges. Her approach aims to restore hope and build on each person’s strengths so they can gain more confidence and satisfaction in daily life.
She offers straightforward support and practical feedback. Sessions focus on resolving past and present concerns while teaching skills to respond differently to problems. The work can be direct and at times challenging, but the aim is to help people make choices that lead to better outcomes.
Charlotte uses an integrative style that draws on several evidence-informed methods. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, and dialectical strategies to manage strong emotions and improve coping. Attachment-based ideas shape how she explores relationship patterns and emotional needs.
Her practice also incorporates client-centered values, which means listening closely and adapting to what each person brings. She often blends techniques to match the situation rather than following a single framework. That approach supports people dealing with ADHD, chronic illness, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and identity issues.
Charlotte emphasizes practical steps and steady progress. She encourages a collaborative process where clients learn skills, try them between sessions, and reflect on what works. The goal is greater resilience and clearer choices for moving forward.

Step 3
How her methods translate to online therapy
Charlotte frequently combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people clarify values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to sit with difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different thoughts and behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback and practice new skills between sessions so progress is steady and practical.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use the same therapeutic tools online as in person, adapting exercises and homework to the client’s routine.
