About Charlie

Charlie Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and related life challenges. He focuses on clear, down-to-earth conversations that help people untangle daily problems and make workable changes. He also supports people coping with substance use concerns, trauma, and shifts in mood or behavior.

Charlie draws on 11 years of experience in social work. He has a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from Weber State University and a master’s degree in Forensic Social Work from the University of Utah. Before private practice he worked in public-sector settings including Drug Court and juvenile services.

In sessions he mixes practical skills with reflective listening. Expect problem-focused work like learning coping skills and changing unhelpful thinking, along with time to talk about painful experiences. He also uses relationship and attachment ideas to help people notice patterns in how they connect with others.

Charlie works at a steady pace and aims to match therapy to each person’s goals. He can help with parenting stress, work and career concerns, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and managing emotions like anger or shame. He also supports people dealing with ADHD, intimacy struggles, and compassion fatigue.

Clients who prefer straightforward language and practical steps may find his style a good fit. If you want a therapist who blends skill-building with honest conversation, Charlie may be a good person to consider.

How common therapy approaches look online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and then make choices based on values. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new responses; it often helps with mood, sleep, and anxiety problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and reactions, and it works to change patterns that cause repeated conflict or loneliness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match goals, comfort level, and what has or hasn’t helped before. This means trying tools in real life and adjusting the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and relevant.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can cut travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or let someone avoid heavy data needs if they prefer audio only. Licensed professionals can still use the same ACT, CBT, and attachment tools in remote sessions to support progress and problem-solving.
