About Charolette

Charolette Riale is an Indiana licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 16 years of professional experience helping people navigate addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other life transitions. She frames therapy around respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversations and plans to match each person’s needs and goals.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes motivation and building self-esteem so clients can move toward the changes they want to see. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and family difficulties, grief and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and anger.

Additional areas of focus include codependency, caregiver stress, communication problems, and substance-related challenges. Charolette combines practical strategies with client-centered support to help people regain a sense of control and purpose as they work through complex emotional and behavioral patterns.

Practical Approaches for Online Healing

Charolette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on empathic listening and tailoring the therapeutic pace to the individual so people feel heard and supported as they explore difficult topics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each client to determine which mix of techniques best fits their goals, needs, and personal preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress and challenges arise.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions and reduce barriers to consistent participation, while allowing therapists to apply CBT and client-centered methods in ways that suit each individual's circumstances.
