About Charlotte

Charlotte Beachem is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 23 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, career strain, parenting stress, and life changes.

Her approach is practical and direct. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that started in childhood and how those patterns show up now. She listens to how past family roles and expectations affect current choices. Then she offers feedback and strategies people can use between sessions.

Charlotte uses a mix of methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used to change unhelpful thoughts and to build emotional regulation skills. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered work look at relational patterns and personal strengths. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help with values and committed action.

In session she combines active skill teaching with time to reflect on past experiences. Expect practical exercises, behavior-focused tools, and conversations about how to apply changes in daily life. She pays attention to how family of origin dynamics influence relationships, work, and self-esteem.

Her work aims to increase confidence, reduce distress, and create clearer choices. People often leave with specific coping tools and steps to try between appointments. To begin, readers are asked to use the site process to match and schedule a first meeting.

Approaches used and how online sessions work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed actions despite difficult thoughts and feelings; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people change how they relate to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides concrete tools for managing symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Charlotte treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person, and adjust strategies based on what is helpful. This lets the person test tools and decide what feels most useful for their concerns.

The profile did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel time and letting sessions occur from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins during a break, or sessions without needing to be on camera when that helps. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and between-session tasks for remote work so people can practice skills where they live and work.
