About Charlotte

Charlotte Beachem is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grieving, parenting pressures, relationship and intimacy concerns, and a wide range of related issues. Charlotte also addresses attention challenges, compassion fatigue, career strain, and life transitions.

Her style is straightforward and practical. She gives direct feedback and helps people build routines and skills they can use between sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on manageable steps to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Charlotte draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Attachment-based thinking helps look at how past relationships shape current patterns.

Sessions also include client-centered elements that follow the person’s concerns and priorities. When emotional regulation is needed, techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are available to strengthen coping skills. The overall aim is to increase confidence and practical coping rather than to focus only on insight.

People considering therapy with Charlotte begin by outlining the most pressing problem. She will work with them to set clear, achievable goals and review progress regularly. Her approach is intended to be direct and respectful, with a focus on real changes that fit everyday life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small, value-based actions. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck when life feels out of step. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors with short experiments between sessions. CBT can help with worry, sleep problems, and managing mood swings.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Charlotte will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to choose methods that fit the person. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, such as allowing shorter check-ins, avoiding travel time, or letting someone join from a convenient location. Many people find remote sessions help them keep momentum between appointments and practice new skills in real-life settings. Licensed professionals, like Charlotte, adapt exercises and homework so they work well in an online setting.
