Charles “Andrew” Baskin, LMFT

Charles “Andrew” Baskin is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. He focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. He listens for what matters most and helps people build realistic coping skills.

Andrew works with concerns like relationship strain, communication problems, caregiver stress, anger, and low self-esteem. He also supports men who want to address life transitions and questions about self-love. His approach emphasizes clear goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

In sessions he uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and emotion-focused methods. He also weaves mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques into conversations when those fit a person’s needs. Sessions tend to be conversational and skill-oriented, with homework when it helps move things forward.

Andrew aims to create a calm space for people to name hard feelings and try new ways of responding. He helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and build more helpful habits. The focus is on practical shifts that improve day-to-day functioning.

Based in Tennessee, he brings a nonjudgmental presence to each meeting. People leave sessions with simple plans they can use between appointments. That steady, hands-on work is central to how he supports recovery and growth.

How his approaches work online

Charles “Andrew” Baskin uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT focuses on clear, structured exercises and practical homework that people can do between sessions to see real changes.

He also draws on emotionally focused ideas to help people name and process strong feelings and improve how they relate to others. That approach helps when relationships and communication patterns are part of the concern. Mindfulness techniques are used to build attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity when stress or rumination rises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will talk with each person about their goals, try specific tools, and adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick techniques that fit a person’s life and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide more flexibility. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can fit quick check-ins or brief skill practice. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep progress steady.
