About Char
Char Midkiff is a Florida LMHC with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions. She also lists ADHD, addictions, parenting, and blended family issues among her areas of focus.
Char draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented. She offers coping skills, ways to manage strong feelings, and strategies to address everyday problems.
Her background includes raising a blended family and completing her degree while working full time. That life experience informs how she talks about blended household challenges, co-parenting tensions, and merging routines. She has personal experience with cancer and with providing end-of-life support to a fellow counselor.
In the room she listens first and then helps people try simple, concrete steps. That might include spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing brief mindfulness, or identifying a small change to test between sessions. She also uses solution-focused questions to clarify goals and track progress.
Char offers practical support for parenting stress, communication problems, grief, addiction concerns, and career or life-purpose questions. She works with individuals to reduce overwhelm and build manageable routines. To begin she asks people to describe current problems, what they want to change, and what small next step feels doable.
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people name what matters to them. It lets the client guide the topics while the therapist reflects and helps organize thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact; it teaches practical steps to test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Char will discuss options and try techniques collaboratively based on a person's goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That makes it easier to focus sessions on small, testable changes rather than long lectures.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and caregiving by removing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins. Some approaches, like short CBT exercises or brief mindfulness practices, adapt well to video or phone meetings and can be practiced between sessions to build steady progress.
