About Charlotte

Charlotte Cox is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with decades of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical skills that improve day-to-day life. Her approach is straightforward and strengths-based. She encourages people to name problems and try small steps toward change.

Charlotte draws on a mix of therapies to help clients find what works. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build meaningful action. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions so the person's priorities lead the work.

Her background includes long experience with trauma, including combat-related trauma, and with issues common to first responders and veterans. She has helped people cope with major life changes, workplace stress, guilt and shame, and end-of-life concerns. Intellectual disability is listed among areas she focuses on, reflecting experience in diverse clinical settings.

Sessions emphasize clear problem definition, new coping skills, and practical solutions. She works collaboratively, treating the person as the expert on their own life while offering feedback and tools. Many people come seeking help with parenting, career decisions, or rebuilding self-esteem.

Charlotte practices from Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English. Her long career has centered on steady, practical support for people facing real-life challenges. If someone is ready to begin, she guides the initial steps and helps set achievable goals.

Step 3

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, guided actions toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try approaches and adjust based on what feels most useful and practical for the person’s life.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online or in-person session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people access steady care when work shifts, caregiving duties, or distance make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT to remote sessions so the work stays focused on small experiments, values-based actions, and concrete skill practice.
