About Charlotte
Charlotte Buelow is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles around relationships, parenting, career, and ADHD. Charlotte lists guilt and shame among the issues she addresses and often helps clients talk through hard feelings that come from past choices or family patterns.
Her approach is grounded in clear, person-focused conversations. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thought patterns that keep someone stuck. She also draws on EMDR when trauma memories are getting in the way of day-to-day life.
In sessions she aims to make space for honest, specific talk about what happened and what still matters now. That often looks like naming painful beliefs, testing them with new perspectives, and practicing small behavioral steps between meetings. Motivational Interviewing techniques help when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change.
Charlotte uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell themselves. She helps identify recurring themes such as abandonment, control issues, or persistent guilt and then explores how those stories influence today’s choices. Sessions tend to be practical and concrete, with attention to coping skills and real-world changes.
She works in English and practices in Ohio. To begin a match and schedule an initial session, clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire and pick a time that fits their life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people clarify what matters to them and feel understood while deciding on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful thinking. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distressing memories by processing how those memories affect present-day reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Charlotte treats that as a collaborative discussion. She will work with each person to consider goals, current difficulties, and personal preferences when deciding whether to emphasize listening-based methods, CBT exercises, or EMDR techniques over time.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a longer visit is difficult. Therapists often adapt tools like CBT worksheets, narrative exercises, and EMDR protocols to an online setting so work continues between meetings and daily life is the focus.
