About Char

Char Midkiff is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of professional experience who focuses on helping people navigate stress, grief, life transitions, mood concerns, addictions, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She draws on a background shaped by personal and professional challenges, including caregiving and health setbacks, to bring practical empathy and resilience-building strategies to her work. Char aims to help clients discover strengths, clarify goals, and develop skills to manage emotions and impulses while pursuing meaningful change.

Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques, emphasizing collaboration and concrete tools that fit each person’s situation. Char integrates mindfulness and coping strategies to address anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship or family difficulties, and she is attentive to concerns such as parenting, caregiving stress, and life purpose.

Based in Florida, she offers services in English and accepts international clients, providing a range of session formats to suit different needs and lifestyles.

How Char’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience without judgment and creating a supportive space for exploration; online sessions let the therapist follow the client's pace while offering empathy and reflective listening. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to change feelings and behaviors, which adapts well to remote work through structured exercises and in-session skill practice. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and simple awareness practices that help reduce reactivity and ease anxiety, and these techniques can be taught and reinforced across video, phone, or text formats.

Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then tailor treatment strategies from these approaches to meet those needs. Together they will adjust methods over time to find what is most effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit care into busy schedules and different time zones. These options support continuity of care for those managing work, family, health concerns, or travel, and they make it easier to practice tools between sessions with guidance from a licensed professional.
