About Charlotte

Charlotte Schafer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia who supports people facing a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, self-esteem, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strains, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She also focuses on related areas such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, impulsivity, obsessive-compulsive patterns, personality disorders, and women’s issues. With eight years of clinical experience, Charlotte blends therapeutic tools to address each client’s priorities.

Charlotte earned a Bachelor of Science in Christian counseling and a Master of Arts in professional counseling from Liberty University, and completed a residency at Counseling Alliance of Virginia in Charlottesville before starting her own practice.

Her approach is integrative, drawing on cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, acceptance and commitment, and mindfulness-based techniques, and she can incorporate Christian-based counseling when clients prefer a faith-informed perspective. Charlotte aims to create practical strategies and present-moment skills that fit individual lives and goals, tailoring methods to what helps each person move forward.

Approaches and Accessibility in Online Counseling

Charlotte integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy into her online work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete behavior changes useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday struggles. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-driven action and mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be particularly helpful for stress, OCD-related patterns, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy with Charlotte uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats can make scheduling easier, allow continuity of work between sessions, and offer multiple ways to practice skills and stay connected with a licensed professional when in-person meetings are not practical.
