Caring Christian Counseling

Caring Christian Counseling Hi my name is Charlotte Schott, I have been a therapist since 2010. So if you are struggling with fear or anxiety I can help. Hi my name is Charlotte Schott.

If you need a caring person to support you as you begin your journey towards healing I am here to help. I am a Christian Counselor who specializes in relationship Counseling. I have completed level 2 of the Gottman Relationship Counseling and use their materials in my practice. I pursued relationship counseling because I noticed how important relationships are to everyone I have met. When people s

truggled in relationships they struggled in every other part of their lives. However when people felt supported and loved in their relationships they thrived. I am thrilled to use the Gottman approach because I have personally witnessed how effective this method has been for my own clients. I have clients that tell me that if they had not come to me they would be in divorce court. The Gottman approach is based upon 40 years of research done by John Gottman. One thing I especially like about it is that I get to use assessments to see exactly where the couples need help. This eliminates wasting time trying to figure out where the problems are for the couples. Another great thing about the Gottman approach is that it’s methods are completely consistent with the teachings of the Bible. So if you are struggling in your relationship I would love to help you. My other focus in my counseling is trauma counseling. I am a Certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Counselor. I integrate Biblical teachings into my counseling if the child and family are open to that. I have been able to help many children overcome their trauma. Trauma can be the reason for aggressive behavior, high anxiety, difficulty sleeping and other problems. I help the child to understand their trauma. The child learns to use coping skills to cope with the uncomfortable feelings that they have and to overcome trauma triggers. I also help the child to correct thoughts that they have as a result of their therapy so that they have more true and helpful thoughts. The joy the children feel after they complete trauma counseling makes my job worth it!

Final Thoughts: Boundaries Are Fluid, Not Fixed
What I’ve learned is that boundaries aren’t rigid—they can change over time as we grow and evolve. They can shift depending on the relationship and the phase of life we’re in. The key is to stay in tune with yourself and check in regularly about what feels right for you.
So, if you’re still wrapping your head around the idea of boundaries in relationships, just know this: They’re about creating balance. They’re about respecting yourself enough to communicate what you need, and respecting others enough to listen to their needs as well. When you get that balance right, you’ll notice that your relationships become healthier, happier, and more fulfilling.

The Power of Saying “No” One of the most freeing aspects of boundaries is learning to say “no” without guilt. It’s a skill that takes time to develop, but once you realize that saying “no” doesn’t mean you're rejecting the person, it becomes much easier. In fact, saying “no” is often a way to say “yes” to your own well-being. You might find it tough at first, especially if you're someone who hates disappointing others. But remember, every time you honor your boundaries, you’re not just protecting yourself—you’re teaching others how to treat you. And that’s something everyone benefits from in the long run. 💪🏽👍💕💖🌈💫

Why Are Boundaries Important ? They show up in friendships, family dynamics, and even at work. Without boundaries, it’s easy to slip into unhealthy patterns, where people might unknowingly overstep or take advantage of your time and energy.

Is God OK with boundaries? Yes believe he is. The Bible has many examples of boundary setting. For example in Acts chapter 6, the apostles appointed 7 men to be deacons. The job of the deacons was to wait on tables and care for the widows. This boundary was set up so that the apostles could focus on prayer and teaching the word of God. This provided more organization and cooperation between believers.
Setting boundaries is a form of self-care—it’s a way to protect your energy and mental health. When we fail to set boundaries, we often end up feeling drained, resentful, or even disconnected from ourselves. On the flip side, when we respect others' boundaries and communicate our own, relationships tend to thrive with mutual understanding and respect.

Boundaries Are About Communication, Not Control
What I’ve come to realize is that boundaries are as much about how we communicate as they are about what we’re actually saying. It’s not about making demands or controlling others. It’s simply about expressing what we need to feel safe, respected, and valued.
The tricky part is being clear about those needs—both to ourselves and to others. For instance, if you feel overwhelmed when someone repeatedly texts you at night after you’ve asked for some quiet time, it's important to communicate that boundary kindly but firmly. It’s about saying, “Hey, I need my evenings to unwind, and it’s important for me to have that space. I’d appreciate it if we could keep our conversations for the day.”

Boundaries in Relationships
The term boundary as it relates to relationships was puzzling to me when I first heard it. However it relates to understanding and communicating to others what I am satisfied with the things I am willing to do and the things I am willing to allow into my life from others. In my mind, it's myplaceholder that feels good and right in my place in the world and my place with others.

Knowing God see comments for illustration

It's great that God loves me, but i can't see him. I don't hear an audible voice. So how do I know he's there? How do I feel his love? How do I experience his mercy?

I see God's grace and mercy all around me. He alone has provided all the good things that are part of my life. Every time I have a good conversation or enjoy playing with my cat ; I am enjoying blessings he has given. Every time someone is kind to me or see a beautiful sunset or rainbow 🌈 those all created by him. He cares for us in all ways as Jesus shared in Matthew 6:25-27.

Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?

Getting past the sadness. In grief sadness lingers. It takes strength to move past it. If we allow the grief, it can shatter us. Almost always it seems too big to conquer. Too all encompassing, insurmountable!

And it is. Alone it is too much.

But we aren't alone. God is there all the time. He is at the ready! He is there to dry our tears and to hold our hands. He knows our struggles. He wants to comfort us. He can move us past the sadness. He can make us overcomers of sadness, grief. shame and guilt. We can be joyful, fulfilled and free!

But we have to want it. We have to reach out our hands to him. If we reach out to him he will lift us up into his arms, the way a loving parent picks up a crying child and hugs them.

Matthew' 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Grief a complicated emotion
Why do we have to go through Grief? Grief hurts. It's a loss of something or someone that we loved or was important to us. Usually the loss is not our fault, but it hurts! I recently lost a cherished pet. I was so sad. I felt guilty because I thought that I could have done some differently and she could have lived. After a while, I realized that I did the best, I could with the information I had. I started to trust that God's plan was the best. I didn't have to beat myself up. God had compassion and love for me. So I should feel that way towards myself. It was hard to accept that I could make such serious mistakes. I had the bar up so high for myself, that there was no way I could reach it. God loves me. He wants me to be caring to myself. He wants me to realize that he's the only perfect one. He cares for all of us. He sends help whenever we need it, which I'd at all times.

Psalm 121 1-2 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

More Daylight more happiness!
Happy spring to you! The warmer weather and added sunlight has made most people more cheery! I know I'm feeling better. It's been a tough winter, but better times are ahead! Thank you Jesus for hope and light!

Isaiah 40:31 ~ But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

I pray that you feel peace and love this year. Happy 2025!
