About Cicely

Cicely Charlson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, grief from life transitions, and the impacts of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

With 11 years of professional experience, she draws on practical strategies to support clients seeking clearer thinking, calmer responses, and improved emotional balance. Cicely also brings experience addressing anger, intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, career stress, depression, and ADHD.

Her approach emphasizes skill-building and collaborative problem solving so clients can make deliberate, healthier choices. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice more effective coping skills.

Cicely’s work has included both outpatient and in-home settings, and she aims to create a respectful space where clients can explore changes, build communication and coping skills, and move toward greater mindfulness and decision-making clarity.

Using CBT Online to Build Skills and Navigate Change

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helpful for breaking down overwhelming problems into manageable steps; this approach focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing their accuracy, and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address everyday stressors. Cicely applies CBT techniques in sessions to teach practical coping skills, behavioral experiments, and structured tools that can help with anger, relationship tensions, and attention-related challenges.

Working together, the therapist and client explore which methods fit best for the person’s goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process - interventions are adjusted based on what proves useful for the client and the real-world results they experience.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it possible to access this work with greater flexibility. These options allow clients to schedule sessions around work or family obligations, continue care from different locations within the therapist’s practice region, and use brief messaging for check-ins or skill reinforcement between fuller sessions. The result is an accessible way to learn and practice new strategies with a licensed professional.
