Charles Wickham

Charles Wickham is a Licensed Master Social Worker with 25 years of experience who focuses on work and wellbeing alongside common life stresses. He centers sessions on each person's needs and strengths and supports people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, or career strain. Charles writes plainly and aims to make the first step feel manageable for worried people seeking change.

He draws on experience from psychiatric hospitals, community mental health, private practice, and a state facility. That mix gives him a practical sense of how problems look in different settings. In conversation he emphasizes listening first, and then helping people use what already works for them.

Charles uses methods such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and psychodynamic ideas. He explains approaches in simple terms and tailors them to the concern at hand rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Typical issues he addresses include stress, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, ADHD, and midlife questions. He also helps with caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, and feelings of isolation or purposelessness.

Sessions are offered to people in Michigan and are conducted in English. He frames therapy as a partnership where the client’s goals guide the work, and he supports practical steps toward clearer thinking, better coping, and renewed motivation.
