About Charissa
Charissa Bogle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience helping people handle anxiety, stress, grief, relationship strain, and the impacts of trauma. She aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can talk about what feels hard and try practical ways to feel better.
Her work focuses on everyday problems that get in the way of living well. She helps people manage anxiety and stress, repair relationship patterns, and recover from traumatic events.
Background and approach
She also supports those working on self-esteem and grief-related challenges. Charissa uses a mix of approaches depending on what each person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-based methods to improve connection.
She also brings strategies from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation when that is helpful. Her background includes 14 years of clinical practice in Tennessee. She has worked with people on the autism spectrum and has experience addressing issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and coping after disasters.
Her title, LCSW, stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations are guided by the person’s priorities and paced to what feels manageable.
The aim is to help people build skills that fit their life and make lasting changes.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings come up. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to change behavior and mood; it is commonly used for anxiety and relationship patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection styles affect present relationships and helps people build more supported ways of relating when trust or closeness feels difficult.Finding the right blend is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend and adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps in daily life rather than sticking to a single approach.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for brief updates, skill coaching, or when typing is easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and life demands.
