Charles Beard

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am trained in Marriage and Family Therapy and have served as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor for over 25 years. I have served in both public and private mental health agencies, primarily for those seeking help with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, addiction and domestic violence.
Any client who has the courage to seek counseling is someone worth celebrating. With gentleness and warmth, I try to focus on each of my client’s strengths to help them in the area they desire to change. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy, Systemic Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy as appropriate. I will tailor my dialog and treatment plan to meet the client’s concerns. Each client’s faith and moral values are recognized as a foundation for their desired growth. I look forward to meeting you.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether virtual counseling can genuinely help. For a range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions – online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.

One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that works best for them – video sessions, phone conversations, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals offer services through these different methods, and individuals can change therapists if they need a better fit. Online therapy provides an accessible option for many people seeking support for everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
