Charlotte Windom, LPC

Charlotte Windom is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, relationship struggles, depression, and major life changes. She writes and talks plainly, and she aims to make sessions feel practical and focused on everyday problems.

Charlotte brings 16 years of counseling experience from a mix of settings. She has worked in private practice, community mental health, college counseling, juvenile probation liaison roles, child advocacy, and program coordination for child and adolescent services. Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a minor in psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from Troy University.

In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people build new coping skills and stronger emotional awareness. Client-Centered Therapy shapes how she listens and responds, keeping the conversation grounded in each person’s values.

Charlotte has experience addressing specific concerns linked to family of origin issues, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and divorce or separation. She also works on issues like body image, guilt and shame, communication problems, and forgiveness.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions are aimed at practical steps people can use between meetings. She offers a respectful, nonjudgmental space for people to work toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress to create clear steps people can try between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying values and taking committed action even when difficult emotions are present. It supports people who want to move toward meaningful goals despite worry or avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and responding to what each person says so the work fits their priorities and pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can shift as progress is made or new concerns emerge.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try approaches that work for the client's routine and preferences.
