Cicely Charlson, LPC

Cicely Charlson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 11 years in the mental health field. She focuses on clear, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and life transitions. Cicely aims to help clients find calmer, more mindful ways to handle everyday pressures.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. Sessions emphasize simple, doable steps that clients can practice between meetings. Cicely also brings experience from both outpatient settings and in-home work, which shaped her flexible approach to care.

Her own life experience gave her a personal understanding of household anger and communication struggles. That background informs how she teaches healthier coping skills and clearer ways to talk about difficult topics. She prioritizes helping people build skills that lead to better decision making and more peace in daily life.

In sessions clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and short-term strategies alongside longer-term habit changes. Cicely supports work on parenting stress, intimacy issues, self-esteem, career concerns, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with big life changes. She encourages steady growth and practical steps toward feeling more in control.

If someone prefers remote contact, Cicely offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

How CBT and online sessions work together

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice the links between thoughts, actions, and feelings. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address low mood by changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

The therapist will treat the choice of approach as a team decision. She will review your goals, preferences, and symptoms and then suggest strategies that fit you. This collaborative process may adjust the plan over time as progress is tracked and needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits, phone sessions can fit a break at work or when lighter tech is needed, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief reflections and ongoing prompts between meetings. These options let people fit skill practice and therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
