About Charles

Charles Burgett is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Kentucky with 22 years of experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He describes his style as respectful, compassionate, and practical, and he works to shape conversations to each person's needs.

He focuses on understanding what drives a person's reactions and helps them learn different ways to respond. Sessions emphasize honest talk, clear goals, and steps to try between meetings. Charles aims to support and empower people as they work toward clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and reduced reactivity.

Over two decades of practice have allowed him to assist people facing issues such as abandonment, commitment and control concerns, caregiving stress, and midlife challenges. He also addresses panic attacks, body image worries, guilt and shame, loneliness, and struggles with self-worth or life purpose. He combines practical problem-solving with attention to emotions that feel overwhelming.

Charles tailors treatment plans to each person rather than following a single template. He helps clients set realistic goals, track small changes, and adjust plans when needed. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the individual.

If someone is looking for a therapist who listens without judgment and helps make clear, workable changes, Charles offers a steady, experienced presence to guide that process.

Approaches for managing strong emotions online

Charles draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding feelings and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach helps people notice what triggers strong reactions, learn new ways to respond, and practice those responses in everyday situations; this can be useful for anger, panic, and anxiety. Another approach centers on improving communication and closeness in relationships by teaching clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries, which helps with intimacy and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels realistic to try. Together they check progress and adjust the plan when needed so that therapy stays practical and relevant.

The original biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while keeping focus on day-to-day skill building and problem solving.
