About Charlar
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia and Alabama with 10 years of experience, Charlar Barnes focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, compassion fatigue, grief, and career and life changes. She combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques to help people clarify goals and try practical steps. Sessions are conducted in English.
Charlar draws on a background that includes military service. She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most and to develop manageable strategies. Expect a focus on current problems, skill-building for coping, and exploring values that shape decisions.
Her approach often mixes Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means listening to understand a person's experience, then testing small changes in thinking and behavior to reduce stress and improve relationships. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support commitment to change and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals.
Work topics include compassion fatigue, LGBT concerns, body image, self-esteem, loneliness, and forgiveness. She also addresses career questions, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, and women's issues. Communication problems, jealousy, and commitment worries are part of her focus as well.
Charlar is the author of a book about reclaiming identity and resilience. She asks practical questions, suggests concrete exercises, and reviews progress over time. People who prefer direct, goal-oriented conversations may find this style fits their needs.

How Charlar Integrates Talk and Action in Remote Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding a person's experience. It helps when someone needs a place to be heard and to name what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and stress. That approach suits problems like worry, low mood, and relationship patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Charlar collaborates with each person to decide whether more listening, structured skill practice, or solution-focused goal-setting is best. She checks in on what helps and adjusts methods as goals evolve.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel between appointments.
