Charles “Andrew” Baskin, LMFT

Charles “Andrew” Baskin is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship difficulties. He focuses on everyday struggles like communication problems, caregiver stress, men's issues, and building self-love. His tone is direct and calm, aimed at helping someone who feels overwhelmed take one step forward.

Andrew adapts his approach to each person. Sessions are meant to be practical and conversational so clients leave with clear ideas they can use between meetings. He uses methods that encourage noticing thoughts and feelings, improving interactions, and trying small changes that add up over time.

Clients can expect a respectful, warm space to talk about what matters most to them. Andrew pays attention to how stress and compassion fatigue show up in daily life and helps people find ways to cope that fit their routine. He also supports people processing trauma and abuse, and those managing anger or low self-esteem.

Over his career he has worked with a wide range of concerns and keeps treatment focused on achievable goals. His Tennessee practice blends cognitive-behavioral ideas, emotion-focused work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to match the client’s needs. Andrew aims to help people build skills, strengthen relationships, and regain a sense of control.

If you want straightforward support for life changes, relationship strain, or persistent anxiety and depression, Andrew offers a steady, goal-oriented style designed to help you move forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions that shape relationship patterns, and supports changing how people respond to each other. It can be helpful for those struggling with connection, communication, or repeated relationship cycles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and for learning practical skills to manage everyday problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with you to pick methods that match your goals and preferences, and he may mix elements from different approaches as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit isn't possible. It can also be useful when someone prefers to work from a quieter location, needs a lower-bandwidth option, or wants a way to keep therapy consistent during life transitions.
