Charles “Andrew” Baskin, LMFT

Charles “Andrew” Baskin is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma and abuse. He focuses on practical steps that reduce daily overwhelm and improve how people relate to others. He also supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and big life changes.

Andrew works in a straightforward, supportive way. Sessions are aimed at helping people talk through immediate concerns and develop realistic coping skills. He pays attention to communication patterns and the pressures that come with caregiving or men's role expectations. The goal is clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses.

His approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That means sessions may include noticing unhelpful thoughts, naming emotions in relationships, slowing down with mindful practice, and finding motivation for change. Treatment plans are shaped around what a person needs most.

Andrew practices in Tennessee as a Tennessee Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and is also licensed in North Carolina. He offers an empathetic setting where small, practical steps are emphasized over jargon. People leave sessions with tools to handle stress and to communicate more clearly.

To begin, a short matching process helps align goals and scheduling. From there, work proceeds at a pace the person is comfortable with, focusing on problem solving and emotional recovery.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and track feelings in relationships, which can make conversations clearer and reduce repeated conflict. In an online setting this looks like guided discussions about emotional patterns and practicing new ways of responding to others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to see what works. Online sessions often include at-home exercises and brief real-world tasks to test new thinking and coping skills between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online sessions can also support continuity of care when life or work schedules make in-person meetings difficult.
