About Charles
Charles “Andrew” Baskin is a Tennessee licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. He also focuses on caregiver stress, communication problems, men's issues, self-esteem, self-love, anger, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.
Andrew’s sessions are direct and practical. He helps people name difficult emotions and see how those feelings affect everyday behavior. Conversations often include looking at patterns in thoughts and interactions, and practicing new ways to respond. Sessions move at the client’s pace and aim to build clearer options for coping.
He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address deeper emotional responses and relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change thought patterns that keep problems active. Mindfulness Therapy adds short practices for managing stress and staying present. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making changes.
Andrew frames goals in straightforward terms and works collaboratively on steps clients can try between sessions. He explains ideas in everyday language and reviews progress regularly. People who want concrete tools alongside attention to feelings may find this combination useful.

It offers straightforward techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviors between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces short practices for calming attention and reducing reactivity. These exercises are often brief and can be used during daily routines to manage stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning may change as progress is made.
