About Charles
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with three years of clinical experience, Charles Christensen focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. He draws on personal recovery experience alongside clinical training to work with people facing substance use and mood concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and grounded in practical talk and skills work.
Charles earned a graduate counseling degree from Boise State University and completed undergraduate studies at Brigham Young University. He brings three years of hands-on practice in mental health treatment and uses that background to guide straightforward, goal-oriented conversations. He does not claim special titles beyond LPC.
His approach mixes evidence-based techniques with practical problem solving. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and handle difficult thoughts, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going, and Motivational Interviewing to support change when addiction or ambivalence is present.
In sessions he focuses on connection and clear next steps. People can expect short-term planning, homework or practice when appropriate, and discussion of barriers to change. He also works on attachment-related issues and communication problems that affect relationships.
Charles often supports work on family of origin concerns, blended family issues, codependency, guilt and shame, and men's issues. He encourages honest feedback about the fit between therapist and client, and invites people to try a session and reassess if needed.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action despite difficult thoughts and feelings. Online work can include values exercises, mindfulness practices, and steps to align behavior with chosen priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments. In remote sessions this often means reviewing thought records, planning small changes, and checking progress week to week.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unsure about change, especially with substance use. Sessions use open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation and set achievable goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. These practical benefits often help people keep consistent appointments and apply skills between sessions.
