Char Midkiff

Char Midkiff is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people dealing with stress, grief, anxiety, and major life changes. Char draws on her own life challenges and long career to guide others toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.

She aims to make sessions practical and understandable. Conversations center on real concerns like relationship strain, work stress, parenting pressures, addiction, and issues tied to identity or life purpose. Char uses clear strategies to help people manage symptoms and build skills they can use between sessions.

Her background includes long-term work in the community and caring for others at the end of life. She is a two-time cancer survivor and has personal experience with blended-family dynamics, which informs how she listens and responds. These experiences shape a perspective that values resilience and steady support.

In sessions she blends methods from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused tools. That mix helps her tailor sessions to each person’s needs while keeping the work focused and goal-oriented.

Char works with people on career questions, ADHD-related struggles, mood concerns, grief, and relationships. She invites people to explore practical steps, set reachable goals, and try coping tools that fit their daily life.

How Char’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflective feedback to help people find their own solutions, useful for issues like grief, life purpose, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and building coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Char will work together with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques as work progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try strategies in real-time between sessions and then review what did or did not work in the next meeting.
