Background and approach
Charlene draws on several evidence-based approaches to shape sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for managing strong emotions and improving coping.
Client-centered work keeps sessions focused on each person’s goals and values. Her background includes work in office, school, and community settings. She has experience supporting people affected by substance use, trauma, and instability.
That experience informs practical strategies she brings into the room. People who choose her often want concrete tools and steady guidance. Charlene encourages small, doable steps and checks in on progress.
She writes notes and suggests tools clients can practice between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's priorities and values. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people set goals that matter to them. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems that respond to step-by-step change.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for handling strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and mindful attention that people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose or blend methods that feel most useful for the person’s situation.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, reflective writing, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep steady progress.
