About Charles
Charles “Andrew” Baskin is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. He supports men who want to work on self-esteem, communication, caregiver stress, and other life changes. Andrew aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for day-to-day life.
He focuses on clear, usable strategies rather than labels. In sessions he listens, reflects what he hears, and helps people try new ways of responding. That can mean learning thought-management skills, practicing different ways to talk about problems, or using simple mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity.
Andrew draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused methods to address how thoughts and feelings shape interactions. He also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people stay motivated and build better habits. These methods are used together based on what a person needs and prefers.
People who come to him often want help with relationship friction, grief, trauma, or the stress of caregiving. He keeps the work practical - setting small steps, checking how things are going, and adjusting the plan as needed. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room to process strong emotions.
He practices in Tennessee and works in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and formats to ensure they fit their needs.
How his approaches translate to online work
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and depression. It is often useful for stress, low mood, and problem-solving around everyday challenges.Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotions and how they shape communication. It helps people notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of responding when emotions run high.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust techniques based on what helps most over time.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow work to continue when travel or distance would otherwise interrupt progress. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in conversation and structured exercises, helping clients practice skills between sessions and track small changes in daily life.
