About Charlotte

Charlotte Beachem, LMSW, brings over two decades of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and a wide range of relational and personal challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes restoring hope, building on strengths, and helping clients gain confidence, courage, and greater satisfaction in life. Her approach is practical and supportive, offering feedback and tools to address unresolved past and present difficulties while fostering inner resilience.

Therapy with Charlotte blends evidence-based strategies and a client-centered stance. She draws from Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-informed work to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Sessions focus on helping clients face problems, make more effective choices, and develop coping skills for issues such as intimacy concerns, parenting strains, career stress, ADHD, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. Based in Michigan, she accepts international clients and offers flexible formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Charlotte uses Internal Family Systems to help people notice and dialogue with different internal parts, which can make trauma responses, self-criticism, or conflicted feelings easier to understand and shift. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) appears in sessions as practical skill-building around values, mindfulness, and committed action to address anxiety, depression, and avoidance patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy informs work on relationship patterns and emotional needs, helping clients explore how early connections influence present-day communication and trust.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to each person’s goals and life context, suggest strategies informed by these methods, and adapt the plan as progress and preferences emerge, so clients help shape what therapy looks like. This shared decision-making supports clearer goals and more relevant tools.

Online therapy with Charlotte is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access care from different locations. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, ongoing check-ins, or short exchanges between sessions to reinforce progress and maintain momentum.
