About Cicely
Cicely Charlson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, anger, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, career questions, depression, and life transitions.
Background and approach
With 11 years in the mental health field, she brings experience from both outpatient and in-home settings to support practical change and clearer decision making. Her approach centers on evidence-informed tools including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with trauma-focused strategies and work on anger management.
Cicely emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and developing skills that promote greater calm, mindfulness, and empowerment. She aims to create a space for growth where clients can practice healthier communication and coping skills learned from her own journey away from a childhood marked by poor communication and unmanaged anger.
Clients can expect a counselor who values steady personal growth and practical problem solving. Cicely frames counseling as a partnership designed to increase clarity, foster resilience through transitions, and support sustainable change in daily life.
Practical approaches and online therapy options
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. It emphasizes skill building and practical exercises to change how situations are interpreted and responded to.
Cognitive Processing Therapy is a trauma-focused method that helps people process traumatic memories and change unhelpful beliefs that stem from those experiences, offering tools to reduce trauma-related distress and improve daily functioning. Anger management techniques focus on recognizing triggers, developing self-regulation skills, and practicing alternative responses to lower reactivity and improve relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors interventions so the plan fits the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Progress is reviewed and approaches are adjusted as needed.
Online therapy with this practitioner offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working together on long-term change.
