Charlotte Gibbons , LCSW

Charlotte Gibbons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah with more than 20 years of clinical experience working with trauma, family and relational concerns, and cultural and diversity issues. She has supported people facing depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, and career transitions, and she has helped those who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

Her counseling style is described as warm and interactive, built on respect, sensitivity, and compassion rather than stigmatizing labels. She integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, psychodynamic insights, dialectical interventions, and family-parent counseling to tailor treatment to each person’s circumstances. That tailoring means conversations and plans are shaped to address the specific needs and goals the individual brings to therapy.

Charlotte honors the courage it takes to seek support and emphasizes collaboration and empowerment in the work. She offers guidance and practical strategies while supporting clients as they pursue a more fulfilling life. When someone is ready to take that step, she stands ready to assist and encourage progress toward their goals.

Approaches That Inform Online Care

Charlotte draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathic relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their values and goals - it is helpful for addressing relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress and to support coping with trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Charlotte treats that as a collaborative decision. She will work with the client to determine which methods best match the person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or to connect from different locations. For many people, these options increase access to consistent support and allow therapy to continue in a way that suits their daily life.
