About Charlotte
Charlotte Buelow is a licensed independent social worker in Ohio who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting challenges, trauma, and life changes. She speaks plainly and listens carefully so people can say what they need to say without fear of judgement.
Her style is steady and compassionate, aimed at helping people take small, useful steps forward. She keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Charlotte blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered listening and practical cognitive-behavioral tools. That mix helps people reframe painful stories, test new ways of thinking, and try concrete changes between sessions. Charlotte draws on five years of clinical experience working with mood concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD-related challenges, and transitions like divorce or caregiver stress.
She tries to make therapy feel manageable and relevant to daily life, not just a list of symptoms and labels. Sessions may include talking through painful memories, identifying unhelpful thoughts, and practicing new communication habits. She uses techniques from EMDR and motivational interviewing when they fit a person's goals.
The aim is steady progress at a pace the person can tolerate. People connect with Charlotte for help sorting complex emotions, making decisions about relationships and career, and rebuilding after loss or a painful event. She works with adults in Ohio and offers multiple online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online session options
How Charlotte’s approaches translate to online therapy
Charlotte uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories that shape their lives. In sessions she asks about the events and meanings people attach to them, then helps separate the person from the problem so new possibilities become clearer. This approach can be useful for dealing with identity questions, relationship patterns, and life purpose concerns.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and empathy. That means sessions focus on what the person brings, with the therapist reflecting and helping the person find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and impulsivity.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize narrative work, client-centered listening, CBT techniques, or a combination tailored to the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins by message when needed, and reduce travel time. The variety of formats also lets people pick what feels most comfortable for talking through difficult memories, practicing new skills, or checking in between meetings.
