About Charles

Charles Mott is a New York licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of direct practice experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and the challenges of major life transitions, and he includes ADHD among his clinical interests.

Background and approach

He aims to create an environment where clients can bring difficult thoughts and feelings into conversation without fear of judgment, emphasizing practical skills and measurable steps toward improved daily functioning. His style blends structured, evidence-based methods with a collaborative, empathic stance.

Charles draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to target unhelpful thinking patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, and Motivational Interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. He encourages clients to set realistic goals and to experiment with techniques between sessions, adapting strategies to each person’s concerns and pace.

Evidence-Based Strategies Delivered Online

Charles integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and enhancing interpersonal effectiveness, often helping with impulsive behaviors and emotional overwhelm.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and previous efforts to determine whether CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, or a mix of methods will be most helpful, and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or those who cannot attend in person. These formats make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions, practice skills in real-life contexts, and access licensed professionals from different locations while preserving continuity of care.
