About Charles

Charles Christensen is a licensed professional counselor with three years of clinical experience. He draws on his own recovery from addiction and his graduate training to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. He speaks plainly and listens carefully to what matters most to each person who reaches out.

Charles works with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, and addiction. He also supports people dealing with major life changes and the hollow feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Background and approach

He pays attention to family of origin concerns, blended family stress, and patterns like codependency and control issues. In sessions he uses practical approaches to help people notice patterns and try small, doable changes. He incorporates Attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current responses.

He also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people clarify values, accept hard feelings, and change unhelpful thought patterns. Charles favors a straightforward, collaborative tone. He aims to create space for honest conversation and concrete next steps.

He encourages clients to speak up if the fit does not feel right so they can find the best match. He practices in Idaho and works in plain language rather than clinical jargon. People who want a counselor who understands addiction recovery and who offers clear tools and steady support may find his style helpful.

Online support

How attachment work and practical therapies translate online

Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape present reactions; online sessions can invite discussion about those patterns and how they show up in current relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name values and accept difficult feelings while taking value-driven actions, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and test new ways of coping using concrete exercises and homework.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Charles will collaborate with each person to identify what fits their goals and personality. He adapts methods when needed and checks in regularly so the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video lets for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a short break, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite changing days and demands.
