About Charles
Charles Burgett is a Kentucky-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, and depression.
Background and approach
He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, aiming to make early conversations straightforward and calm. Charles adapts sessions to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
He listens for what matters most and shapes the dialogue and goals around those priorities. Many clients work on improving communication, managing panic or strong emotions, and rebuilding self-worth.
He also addresses issues tied to life transitions and identity, such as midlife questions, commitment worries, isolation, and caregiver stress. Practical skills - like emotion regulation, clearer expression of needs, and rebuilding trust after a separation - are commonly practiced in sessions.
Short-term tools and longer-term perspectives both have a place in his work. Sessions are offered in English and can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Charles supports the process of change by empowering people to make choices that match their values and goals. People who want a respectful, steady presence during hard conversations often find his style helpful.
He encourages small, manageable steps and celebrates progress as it comes.
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Charles uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear skills and real-world change. One common approach focuses on emotion regulation and coping skills - teaching ways to manage panic attacks, anger, and intense anxiety so daily life feels more manageable. Another approach centers on improving communication and relational habits, helping people state needs, set boundaries, and repair trust after conflict or separation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit a person's situation, and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clearer. This is a collaborative process where client feedback shapes the path forward.
Online sessions - whether video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper dialogue, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options give flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
