Margarette Charles

Margarette Charles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in New Jersey with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem struggles, depression, and people coping with life changes. She also lists life purpose among her focus areas.

She keeps sessions straightforward and direct. Conversations focus on what feels stuck and on steps that can change daily behavior. She pays attention to relationship patterns that affect intimacy and connection, and she helps people notice how mood and confidence shape choices.

Her approach involves building a plan together rather than handing down a fixed program. That plan can include practical coping tools for anxiety and mood, communication strategies for relationship strain, and ways to re-engage with values and goals when purpose feels unclear. Sessions aim to be action-oriented and conversational.

Over the course of her 12 years of work, she has helped people navigate life transitions such as separation, pregnancy and postpartum changes, and aging-related concerns. She also addresses panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on wellbeing.

Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in New Jersey. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Many clinicians use evidence-based techniques to address mood and anxiety, including short-term problem-solving work that focuses on changing unhelpful behaviors and routine. This kind of approach breaks down symptoms into manageable steps and teaches tools to reduce stress and panic symptoms.

Another common approach is communication skills training. That method teaches specific ways to raise difficult topics, set boundaries, and repair misunderstandings. It can help when intimacy or commitment worries are getting in the way of relationships or personal goals.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit best based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences. That means trying tools, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed in the biography. Ask about the available session formats and how they fit your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into weekdays or lunch breaks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the specific session options offered before you schedule.
