Charvette Simmons, LCSW

Charvette Simmons is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress and anxiety. She brings 13 years of experience and focuses on improving self-esteem, relationships, career concerns, and coping with life changes.

She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on way of spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Sessions typically include simple tools and steps clients can try between meetings to see small changes build over time.

Charvette has supported people facing compassion fatigue and those caring for a loved one or child with an illness. She helps clients handle anger, parenting challenges, intimacy-related questions, and the emotional impact of adoption or foster care situations.

Other areas Charvette addresses include ADHD, depression, communication problems, forgiveness, and navigating divorce or separation. She also assists people wrestling with life purpose, social anxiety, and issues tied to prejudice and discrimination.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens, helps clarify goals, and works with each person to create practical steps toward change. Her practice in Texas offers a mix of session formats to fit different schedules.

How CBT and online sessions work together

Charvette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to practice different ways of responding. CBT focuses on clear steps and exercises you can use between sessions, which often makes progress more measurable and active.

The choice of approach is a shared process. Charvette will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, and then recommend methods that fit. She adjusts the plan over time so it stays useful and practical for daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to have frequent, brief check-ins or to send notes and reflections between longer sessions. These options allow clients and therapists to shape a routine that fits work, family, and other commitments.
