Charles Christensen, LPC

Charles Christensen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Idaho with three years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and coping with life changes. Charles uses straightforward language and practical steps during sessions.

He draws on his own recovery experience when talking about addiction and relapse. That personal background informs how he approaches drug and alcohol addiction and co-morbidity. He also helps people deal with codependency, control issues, and feelings of emptiness.

Charles uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. He commonly works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at thinking patterns and behaviors. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clarify values and take committed action despite difficult feelings.

Sessions often involve setting short-term, achievable goals. He also focuses on communication problems and family of origin issues that often affect current relationships. Blended family issues are included among the concerns he addresses, such as merging routines or managing loyalty conflicts in a new household.

His style is direct and practical. He invites people to say if the fit does not feel right and to try a different clinician. For someone wanting clear steps, goal-focused work, and a counselor who has personal experience with recovery, Charles offers a straightforward option.
