About Charles
Charles “Andrew” Baskin is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. He draws on 14 years of experience to offer steady support for grief, trauma, anger, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Andrew also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, men's issues, and building self-love. His style is direct and compassionate.
Sessions aim to be practical. He listens first, then helps people set small, clear goals they can try between meetings.
Andrew uses tools from cognitive behavioral work and emotionally-focused approaches to help people notice patterns and shift them. He also brings mindfulness practices to calm the body and improve attention during hard moments.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about change. Clients can expect collaborative planning.
That means Andrew and the person agree on steps and measure progress together. He explains ideas in plain language and offers exercises to practice outside sessions.
Andrew practices in Tennessee and holds the credential LMFT, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He conducts sessions in English and frames therapy around real-life demands and schedules.
The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and swap them for more useful ones. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives concrete skills to change daily reactions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on feelings and connection. It helps people understand strong emotions and how those emotions shape the way they relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and goal-oriented.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when travel is hard. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, ongoing encouragement, or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while working with licensed professionals.
