About Charles

Charles Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 28 years of experience. He moved from a long career in church music ministry into counseling, returning to school to earn a master's degree in Psychology. He spent many years in public mental health before opening a solo independent practice in 2010 where he continues to see clients.

He focuses on relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

He helps people who face commitment doubts, communication breakdowns, infidelity, and divorce or separation. He also supports men working through fatherhood issues and people managing post-traumatic stress or anger concerns. Charles uses approaches that include hypnotherapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, the Gottman Method, and solution-focused techniques.

In sessions he aims to listen first, then offer practical steps clients can try between meetings. That often means short exercises, communication tools, or small behavior changes to test what works. He brings personal experience of a long-term marriage and a direct, hopeful attitude to couples who want to repair or strengthen their relationship.

He has worked in court-ordered anger management and with individuals who seek help voluntarily for anger and related problems. Sessions are offered in English and arranged through an online matching process. Charles helps people identify goals and creates straightforward plans to reach them, meeting by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Charles blends hypnotherapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change patterns that cause distress. Hypnotherapy is used to guide focused attention and suggestion for issues like anxiety, habit change, or strong emotional reactions. Client-centered work emphasizes listening, empathy, and letting the client lead the pace and goals of therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step. Charles discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods over time. He encourages trying techniques for a few sessions to see what helps and adjusts the plan based on progress and comfort.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work for brief check-ins or when shorter, written exchanges are preferred. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, childcare, or other commitments and to continue counseling when in-person visits are not practical.
