Charles Burgett, LMFT

Charles Burgett is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Kentucky with 22 years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people who are feeling stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He aims to meet people where they are and offer steady, compassionate support as they consider change.

He approaches each person as an individual and adapts conversations and plans to fit specific needs. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused, with an emphasis on practical steps people can try between meetings. He encourages clients to name small, doable changes that build toward larger shifts over time.

Charles works with a range of personal and interpersonal issues, including communication problems, commitment concerns, feelings of isolation, midlife transitions, body image, and challenges tied to caregiving and divorce. He also addresses issues like guilt, shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose and self-worth.

He treats men’s issues and intimacy-related struggles alongside anxiety and panic concerns. His style is described as respectful and sensitive, and he aims to empower people to make choices that match their values and goals.

People seeking help typically begin by clarifying what matters most and then building a step-by-step plan. Charles supports that process by listening, giving straightforward feedback, and helping people practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

How evidence-based methods guide online therapy

Charles describes his work as practical and focused on steps people can use right away. Two evidence-based approaches often used in this kind of work are cognitive-behavioral techniques and skills-based problem solving. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Skills-based problem solving focuses on breaking problems into manageable parts and testing small changes to improve relationships and daily functioning.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. That means the work is tailored over time rather than fixed at the start.

Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule short check-ins or regular weekly sessions. It also allows continuing work after life changes, so people can maintain momentum while juggling work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
