About Charles
Charles Mott is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York with 15 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
He brings a practical, skills-oriented perspective grounded in cognitive behavioral approaches while also integrating elements from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing to meet each person’s needs. He prioritizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and experiment with new strategies for coping and problem solving.
Sessions emphasize collaboration and skill-building, with attention to patterns that maintain distress and concrete steps to change them. Charles frames therapy as a process that often begins with a single courageous step and supports clients throughout their work toward greater satisfaction and well-being.
Beyond symptom reduction, he often helps clients clarify values, improve communication, and address panic, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and attention-related challenges. His practice is aimed at people ready to engage in practical, evidence-informed methods to manage immediate difficulties and build resilience for the long term.
Online Strategies and Therapeutic Approaches
Charles draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive patterns; this approach is practical and often focuses on skills for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and attention-related difficulties. He also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns, offering concrete skills to reduce overwhelm and improve communication.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adapting plans as progress unfolds so that the work stays relevant and achievable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and allow therapy to fit into busy lives. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location, and they let clients use formats that feel most comfortable for practicing skills between sessions.
