About Charesa

Charesa Alphin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience addressing a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, ADHD, mood disorders, grief, parenting difficulties, and social challenges associated with autism.

Background and approach

She draws on that background to support people navigating life transitions, relationship and intimacy issues, workplace stress, and identity-related concerns such as LGBT matters. Her style emphasizes a person-centered stance that prioritizes listening and collaboration so clients can safely tell their stories and explore what matters most to them.

Charesa integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside motivational and narrative techniques, tailoring interventions to each individual’s goals and preferences. She also has experience with solution-focused strategies and approaches suitable for trauma and grief responses.

Practicing from Texas, Charesa aims to make therapy practical and accessible; she offers several online session formats and works with clients to find the modality and pace that fit their lives. Prospective clients can expect a compassionate, goal-minded clinician who helps them clarify next steps and identify coping tools that align with their values.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and can guide the work toward their own priorities. This approach supports issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions by fostering insight and self-directed change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and modify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, stress, and workplace difficulties. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method aimed at reducing the emotional intensity of distressing memories and can be useful for post-traumatic stress and past abuse reactions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the clinician works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods align with their goals, history, and preferences. The therapist tailors the plan over time and checks in frequently to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into everyday life, continue care across distance, and maintain continuity while exploring practical coping strategies and therapeutic goals.
