About Charles
Charles Allen, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia, has provided clinical services for 28 years. He focuses on relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. He uses approaches he lists such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, hypnotherapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Charles moved from long-term work in church music ministry into counseling after completing a master’s degree in psychology in 1995. He spent 15 years in public mental health settings before opening a solo private practice in 2010. He has substantial experience addressing relationship strain and conflict.
His practice emphasizes practical, conversation-based work. Sessions often focus on communication problems, commitment issues, and repairing patterns that lead to separation or divorce. He also helps people who are navigating fatherhood issues and family of origin concerns.
Charles works with men’s issues and with people coping with post-traumatic stress and trauma-related concerns. He offers counseling for infidelity and for people managing anger who may have court-ordered requirements related to anger management.
In sessions he draws on methods such as the Gottman Method for couples, CBT for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused techniques to set clear short-term goals. Hypnotherapy is another option he lists for clients who are interested. He welcomes an initial conversation to identify specific needs and goals.

Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and emphasizes listening and respect. It helps people clarify what matters to them and identify the next steps they want to take. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is useful for addressing unhelpful thinking patterns that affect relationships and mood. The Gottman Method concentrates on relationship interactions and communication skills. It is practical for couples working on repair, trust, and improving everyday conversations.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate on an approach that fits the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion can include trying a method for a few sessions and adjusting based on results.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which remote or in-person options are used. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt CBT and Client-Centered techniques for remote meetings so clients can keep progress moving while managing everyday responsibilities.
