Charles Junkin, MA, LPCC-S, LPC-S, LPC
I am Charles Junkin, a licensed professional clinical counselor and clinical supervisor with decades of experience in counseling, supervision, and behavioral health leadership.
My work has included individual counseling, couples counseling, substance use treatment, clinical supervision, program development, counselor training, and leadership within behavioral health organizations. Across those roles, my focus has remained consistent: helping people understand what is happening, strengthen their capacity to respond, and move toward healthier lives and relationships.
Charles also provides clinical supervision for dependently licensed counselors where permitted by applicable state licensing rules. He approaches supervision with the same directness and seriousness he brings to clinical work — because the quality of supervision shapes the quality of care that supervisees eventually provide.
The therapeutic relationship is the mechanism of change. Everything else — the modality, the framework, the techniques — serves that relationship.Charles Junkin, LPCC
Honest feedback and clear communication — without being harsh or dismissive.
Reliable, structured sessions that respect your time and investment.
Clinically grounded work informed by evidence and professional standards.
Professional Approach
I believe therapy should be respectful, clinically sound, and useful. Clients deserve more than generic encouragement. They deserve a thoughtful therapeutic relationship where their concerns are taken seriously, their strengths are recognized, and their goals are approached with care and professionalism.
My counseling style is calm, direct, collaborative, and grounded. I work to help clients connect insight with action, emotional awareness with practical change, and personal history with present-day choices.
I also value the importance of ethics, boundaries, and professional identity in the counseling field. In supervision, I help developing counselors strengthen both their clinical skill and their confidence as professionals.

A Note
People often come to counseling when they are tired of trying to figure everything out alone. They may be competent, responsible, and high-functioning in many areas of life while still feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or disconnected internally.
My goal is to provide a steady place to begin sorting through those concerns. Therapy is not about judgment. It is about clarity, honesty, support, and change.
