About Charesa
Charesa Alphin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders, parenting challenges, ADHD, autism-related concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use in their day-to-day lives.
Her style is person-centered; she listens first and helps people find what fits them. She uses clear, structured methods when needed, such as cognitive behavioral techniques and narrative approaches. EMDR is part of her toolbox for processing trauma when appropriate.
Charesa draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused work to set goals and notice progress. She helps people break big problems into manageable actions. That can look like changing unhelpful thinking, practicing new responses, or trying small experiments between sessions.
She also has experience with autism and Asperger syndrome and supports caregivers coping with stress. She addresses workplace struggles, social anxiety, and issues around sexuality in straightforward terms. Her background includes work with survivors of sexual assault and post-traumatic stress.
Charesa uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. To start, prospective clients use the site button to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first meeting.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and letting the client guide the pace. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story and identify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework. It is useful for anger related to habitual thinking or workplace and relationship stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge when trauma is a contributing factor.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit the problem, and adjust based on what helps. That means methods can be mixed and changed as progress is tracked and new needs arise.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins if that works better around work or caregiving. Some formats demand less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can help when someone needs a lower-key option. Discussing practical scheduling and preferred interaction styles is part of the first meeting so sessions work with everyday life.
