Charles Baird

Charles Baird is a licensed professional counselor in Arkansas, holding the state’s LPC credential (license P1006041). He brings 14 years of clinical experience working with clients from youth and teenagers through adulthood, and provides care for individuals, couples, and families.

As an objective professional he helps families and partners identify problems and the patterns that sustain them. He often observes that people can mistakenly target an individual rather than addressing the dynamics between people that create the difficulty.

He has in-depth experience with mood and depression issues, stress and anxiety, anger, relationship and family dynamics, parenting challenges, conflict, and self-esteem concerns. He is a certified trauma professional trained to work with traumatic experiences and common responses to them. He also has eight years of experience working with military families and the unique challenges they face.

Charles practices from a solution-focused perspective, helping clients uncover the roots of presenting issues to support long-term, sustainable change. He uses motivation strategies, contextual family techniques, and cognitive approaches to promote self-awareness, goal setting, and the implementation of change.

He is non-judging and listens closely to each person’s story, helping to put concerns into perspective. He believes people often have the solutions to their own problems and may benefit from outside input to bring those solutions forward. He appreciates being considered as part of a client’s journey.
