Charles Burgett, LMFT

Charles Burgett is a Kentucky-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, and depression. He also addresses related challenges such as guilt and shame, abandonment, communication problems, and self-love.

He focuses on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions involve talking through specific moments that cause shame or persistent guilt, identifying patterns, and testing small changes in behavior and thinking. He adapts the pace to what the client can manage and keeps explanations straightforward.

Charles draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people make sense of difficult feelings. He explains how certain reactions develop and what tends to keep them going. Then he and the client try different ways of responding so the person can notice what helps in daily life.

He has worked with a wide range of relational struggles, including commitment concerns, divorce and separation, and intimacy problems. He also supports people dealing with anger, panic attacks, midlife questions, and caregiver stress. His approach is practical and conversational rather than theoretical.

Sessions are aimed at understanding what keeps guilt or shame active and at building concrete, realistic steps to change those patterns. He encourages direct discussion of faith, family history, or past decisions as they relate to current feelings. People who want clear feedback and usable tools often look for this style of work.
