Remote care and communication options
Charlette adapts her human-centered, holistic approach to online work by combining mindfulness practices with evidence-informed therapeutic techniques. In virtual sessions she guides clients toward clearer self-awareness and greater clarity about relationship patterns and life choices. The tone of remote work mirrors her in-person style: collaborative, reflective, and aimed at practical insight.
Mindfulness practices are used to bring attention to present-moment experience and to support reconnection with inner guidance. Evidence-informed techniques offer structure for identifying goals, practicing new skills, and addressing specific concerns such as anxiety, family conflict, or intimacy-related issues. Together these elements create a balanced framework for exploration and skill building.
Online appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Charlette accepts international clients and works with people across different time zones when scheduling allows. The virtual format is intended to make it possible to continue steady therapeutic work despite geographic distance.
