Charles Mott, LCSW

Charles Mott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 15 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and major life changes. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and supported.

Charles creates a direct and open space for conversation. He listens for the problems that come up most often and works with each person to set practical goals. Sessions are straightforward and focused on skills people can try between meetings.

He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions interact, to help people change patterns that increase distress. He also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools for emotion regulation, and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen commitment to change.

Charles tends to keep sessions practical and solution-minded. He helps people break big problems into small steps. He also works on communication challenges and finding clearer life direction when meaning feels lost.

Over his career he has worked with people facing panic attacks, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress reactions, and attention-related struggles. He tailors approaches to what each person needs and tracks progress as goals evolve.

Using CBT and DBT Tools in Online Care

Charles uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves setting small experiments and practicing new responses between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. Those DBT-informed skills can be useful for handling strong feelings, panic, or intense reactions in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Charles talks with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then tries methods that fit. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is or isn’t working.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send notes between sessions and get brief support without scheduling a call. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to practice skills in everyday moments.
