More about Charlotte
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LCPC, LPC
One of my favorite mentors/authors/ counselors is quoted to say "owning our story, and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we'll ever do." Brene Brown. I firmly believe in this quote and work to apply this to my personal life. Learning to be brave and loving ourselves on the journey we are on brings freedom from the multitude of stress life throws our way.
My counseling approach focuses on finding those moments of courage and vulnerability to tackle life's struggles. I find that when clients can explore their values and strengths and pursue their goals and dreams they find the most success and peace in life. My counseling approach utilizes ACT, Solution Focused, CBT and Narrative Counseling Theories.
I have ten years of professional experience working as a counselor. I have extensive knowledge working with addictions, as well and depression, low self-esteem, anxiety and stress management. In addition I have strength in addressing grief and loss as well as career issues. I have a Bachelor Degree in Psychology and Master degree in Mental Health Counseling.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is great!! She listens and then helps me figure out a way to work through thing, gives me perspective that I may not have thought of and is very understanding.
Charlotte allows me a safe space to process my thoughts and helps me untangle the mess of my feelings from reality. I love that throughout the week I can text her and she will respond. It’s so great not to have to wait until the next session to be able to get help.
Charlotte is extremely receptive and so good at meeting you where you're at. I have really appreciated the feedback she's given me.
Charlotte is a great counselor. It’s like talking with a friend who gives the best advice. I look forward to meeting with her every time and she has really helped me through these rough patches.
I appreciate Charlotte. She gives me a sense of understanding the issue I bring up and the possibilities to try in growing through these "opportunities." I am learning to bring good questions up?
Charlotte is wonderful and understanding. I have had inpatient therapy with a psychologist before, but feel like one session with Charlotte has done just as much as months of therapy with my psychologist did. Charlotte using the Bible to help explain some things and help me see things in a different way is also wonderful. Thank you, Charlotte!
Ms. Charlotte Carlson has been the most amazing support person! I came to her in a very, very dark time. She treated me with compassion and understanding. She helped me see there is light in the most caring and knowledgeable ways. I recommend her to any woman facing their own dark time. Blessed to have her in my life!
Charlotte has been a wonderful help to me over the past few months. I know she truly listens to and hears what I have to say. She gently guides me where I need to go and lets me think about and set the direction of my therapy. I consider myself blessed to have found Charlotte when I needed help most.
I really appreciate Charlotte! She has helped me to manage anxiety and depression. She is great at remembering things that I tell her and she is awesome at connecting the dots and problem solving. I am so grateful to have been connected with her on this app! She is an outstanding counselor, the best counselor that I’ve ever had. She has taught me the importance of self care and has empowered me to face my mental health issues instead of avoiding them.
So far this has been a great experience for me and I enjoy my counselor.
I have really enjoyed talking to Charlotte, she has been very helpful in helping me with my situations, I have become more happy with myself and have overcome things thanks to her taking her time out of her day to talk with me about whatever I'm going through, I appreciate Charlotte Carlson and the Faithful Counseling team, God Bless.
Charlotte has a clear understanding of my schedule and needs which is comforting her answers are always filled with hope and answers!
Charlotte was a great aid in helping me to understand what the root of my hurt was. She was patient, gentle and kind in her encouragement and guidance. I would recommend Charlotte without reservation.
Charlotte is a great therapist. She clearly listens and provides useful ideas and feedback along the way. She is professional and personable.
Charlotte has become a trusted adviser for me. I believe that she understands my problem and my personality in a way to help me better understand myself. Me beginning to understanding why I feel and react to issues in my life the way I do, helps me to begin to learn how to protect my body from those reactions. I’ve learned a lot from Charlotte. I truly value her insights.
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ review for Charlotte! I’m new here. I have had >3 sessions now. I also tried group session. This is my first experience with therapy. I was matched with Charlotte via a survey. I feel more than lucky. I feel like she has taken time to get to know my goals of therapy. She respects my belief system. She also offers advise and guidance specific to my situation. Charlotte is not a scripted, or canned text therapist. She digs in to the nitty gritty and makes recommendations for my life. She has helped me identify areas in need of improvement. I recommend Charlotte and her amazing skills. I’m looking forward to more sessions. Fingers crossed she can help me with anticipatory grief and anger management.
Charlotte was a good fit for me. She was easy to talk to and has a warm delivery. I felt relaxed and she gave me great tools to help me move forward. I highly recommend her.
I feel validated in recognizing that Charlotte truly listens to what I say. Where some therapists provide blanket responses that can oftentimes feel impersonal, Charlotte responds with genuine respect for my emotions and experiences. I feel like an individual, rather than just another “client,” as I have with many other therapists before. I appreciate her willingness to take the time to respect where I am and meet me there in her responses.
Charlotte Carlson is a great listener and always provides meaningful feedback.
Thank you for checking in on me.
WONDERFUL
She is the best! I don't ever feel awkward or uncomfortable. She is a great listener and also tells me what I need to hear when I need it. She has Definitely been a blessing to my life! So glad I got matched with her
Charlotte good s always honest, insightful, supportive, and kind.
Charlotte is a gift. Her wisdom, compassion, and assertiveness is combination that not only provides insight, but also challenges individuals to be their best self.
This is the second time I have reached out to Charolotte for counseling. I really like the ability to have phone interactions due to my crazy life schedule. I feel that she listens to me without judgment and offers feedback that is helpful qnd constructive. Its nice to be able to talk to someone and feel like you are being heard and understood and that sometimes things don't need fixed it is just good to have someone listen and validate my feelings, stress and emotions. I would recommend her highly.
I really like her. Very flexible and wise. She is awesome!
I’ve only had one video session and a few messages with Charlotte, but in that short time she offered hope and gave me concrete actions that are helping me feel better.
Charlotte is an incredible human, with the ability to truly listen. She gives deep insights and looks out for your mental health.
Very professional timely and knowledgeable
She is great. Talking with her helps when I need it most.
Extremely talented at synthesis & insights
She not only listens but cares and helps me see things that I would not not see. Truly a spiritual and very caring.
Charlotte is very wise, kind and helpful!
I've already filled this out like 5 times. I love Charlotte. She's wonderful. She listens (or in my case reads, I still haven't spoken a verbal word to get and it's been almost a year now.) She is compassionate yet brutally honest and doesn't cookie crumb what you NEED to hear. I love that about her!
Charlotte is an amazing listener and gives me ideas for coping techniques to help me get through the day.
Charlotte Carlson is a kind and knowledgeable person. Even though she brings years of varied counseling experience to her sessions, she is very easy to talk to and shares details from her own life to help illustrate the advice she gives. You can tell she deeply cares about her clients . I cannot recommend her enough!
She has been very knowledgeable and has offered an array of tools to help bring balance.
Charlotte has been a great counselor. She understands my concerns and gives me tools to use to help my situation.
It has been nice to be able to chat with someone about my concerns and get it off my chest. The counselor understands where I am coming from and makes recommendations or gives me ideas of how to approach my issues. I appreciate her services.
Charlotte is very knowledgeable and easily understands what I am feeling, sometimes to a level that she can articulate it better than I can. She has good suggestions for things to try implementing in daily life that might help with specific struggles. I also feel very comfortable talking to her.
Charlotte has a way of unravelling life’s knots and has helped me work on coping strategies
Helpful and calm, she doesn’t make any of my fears seem silly or foolish.
Charlotte is always in good spirits and easy to talk to. She offers good alternative ways of thinking and going about things.
I have benefitted greatly from Charlotte’s approach to helping me address the issues I have faced both personally as well as professionally. She is fluid, and allows me to discuss these issues as they arise in my life, and is respectful of my comfort level as I push to address matters outside my comfort zone. I look forward to every visit with her.
Charlotte has been there for me in the past and now in the present. Life constantly changes sometimes you need someone that isn’t an a friend to listen, understand and give great advice and that Charlotte has done that for me, that’s why I have come back.
She really listens to me. I feel like I’m talking with a friend but one that has the knowledge and know-how to help me navigate through my feelings.
Charlotte Dore is attentive and consistent.
Charlotte was quick to be in touch, explain her services, and respond to messages. She has a warm, friendly personality and is very easy to talk to. Thanks, Charlotte!
Charlotte is the first councilor I've ever had and she definitely puts in the time and thought in the "why" behind the problems which is fantastic. Due to my work schedule and traveling picking up around this time of year, I had to end my counseling after a month since I knew I wasn't getting the most out out of it if I was only able to respond once in a while between breaks in my schedule. This was a bit of a test run to see how I liked counseling since I've never tried it before. I do plan on resuming counseling with her at a later date. Thanks Charlotte!
She is very understanding and easy to talk to.
Charlotte helped me get through a very difficult time in my life. I would highly recommend her she is very understanding and honest.
Working with Charlotte has not only helped with accountability for the positive changes I want to make in my life, but has taught me how self-compassion is different from making excuses. I also love the fact that I have 24/7 access to her via the private website. She has really helped me gain clarity and focus and dismantle my limiting beliefs that have kept me stuck. Great counselor!
I find comfort in expressing myself to Charlotte with no worry of being judged. I've carried issues inside for so long, it is nice to have a person to unload with. I am always working to better myself, and I don't ever feel she is out to FIX me. Rather she is a great sounding board. I love the ability to write out everything I feel at anytime. She is always prompt in replying. Even when I was pretty wrought with anxiety one evening and needed her immediately. She was right there. She is my safe place:)
Simply wonderful! She is so understanding and kind. She listened to every concern I had, and offered solutions so as to overcome my concerns. She is very responsive and flexible. I really appreciate her support and expertise!
Charlotte is AMAZING - there is no other word to describe her. She goes above and beyond to help me. I was not sure about the “online” therapy but honestly I have gotten more from her than I have anyone I have seen in person. She is so willing to talk/video call. I have nothing but GREAT things to say about her and this program. THANK YOU!
Even though I have never met her in person Charlotte was a big help. She gave me advice that once put into practice began to reshape my thinking and my relationship with my wife. If time and/or money are an issue but you still need professional guidance/support, then you need to check out BetterHelp and look up Charlotte Dore.
Charlotte is a great counselor for me. She is giving me tips and helps pull me out of my bad days by asking questions to learn more about what's going on in my mind.
I was going through a lot of ups and downs while I was communicating with Charlotte, and her responses were always encouraging and supportive. I felt like I was really being listened to, and that my anxieties and fears weren't being dismissed. I also really liked the questions she asked me, they helped me focus in on what I was really looking for and wanting to work toward.
While I wasn't with Charlotte Dore long due to other circumstances, during the time I was she was able to isolate exactly what was bothering me, and quickly gave me things to consider that helped me to begin addressing the issues. I hope soon I will be able to continue talking to her.
I sure have appreciated and respected Charlotte Dore's expertise, kindness, encouragement and motivation with helping me. Thank you so much.
I've enjoyed communicating with Charlotte. She is responsive and has given me some good advice. It's nice to have someone to reach out to during difficult or lonely times. That's one of the things I have enjoyed about BetterHelp. I like that I can followup or text anytime I feel like it, day or night. Also, being an introvert, it reduces a lot of the anxiety being able to communicate from the comfort of my home.
