About Charles

Charles Burgett is a Kentucky-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, and depression. He also addresses related issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, and questions about life purpose.

Charles takes a practical, person-focused approach in sessions. He listens to what matters most to the client and adapts conversations and plans to fit those priorities. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can take to reduce day-to-day distress, improve communication, and handle emotions that feel overwhelming.

Clients can expect straightforward talk about what is getting in the way of change and small experiments to try between sessions. Charles pays attention to patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people notice alternatives. He uses methods grounded in evidence to guide those conversations and choices.

Over his career he has helped people navigate divorce and separation, midlife questions, issues around trust and commitment, and struggles with guilt or shame. He also works with men’s issues, isolation and panic attacks when those come up as part of someone’s concerns.

Sessions include time to identify current obstacles and to practice different ways of responding. Charles asks about everyday routines and relationships because small, practical changes often make a big difference. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How evidence-based methods fit into online sessions

Charles describes his work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns and building practical skills. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another focuses on communication skills and emotional regulation to address relationship strain and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking how an approach feels in early sessions and adjusting the plan as needed rather than sticking to one method from the start.

Session formats are not listed in his biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on difficult days, and remove travel time. It can also let people manage sessions without being on camera when that helps them focus. Licensed professionals, including therapists, use these practical benefits to help sessions fit everyday life while working toward the client’s stated goals.
