About Charesa

Charesa Alphin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience supporting people facing a wide range of concerns.

Background and approach

Her practice focuses on issues such as stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and LGBT matters. She also addresses communication problems, caregiver stress, social anxiety, workplace issues, and other life transitions.

Her approach is grounded in a person-centered stance that prioritizes listening and collaboration. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other methods to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, and she integrates EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate.

Motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, and solution-focused techniques are also part of her toolbox, allowing her to tailor work to individual goals and preferences. Charesa aims to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their stories and experiment with new strategies for coping and growth.

She practices in Texas, works in English, and offers multiple remote session formats to make therapy accessible to those fitting her practice parameters.

Therapeutic approaches for online healing and growth

Charesa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this approach often suits concerns such as anxiety, depression, and workplace or relationship stress. She also brings Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) into work when trauma processing is needed, offering a structured way to reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories. Additionally, her client-centered stance emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating space for clients to shape goals and the pace of therapy.

Choosing the right method is presented as a collaborative process. She will help assess which approaches align with a client's goals, history, and preferences and may integrate techniques from different modalities to best support progress. Clients are invited to give feedback so that the therapeutic plan can be adjusted over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make getting regular support more flexible for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These formats allow for consistent contact and practical scheduling while preserving the therapist-client collaboration needed to try interventions, practice skills, and track change over time.
