About Cicely
Cicely Charlson greets people with a calm, practical style. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 11 years in the mental health field. Cicely focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, and life changes.
She listens for what feels most urgent and helps set small, realistic goals to build steadier days. Her background includes work in outpatient settings and in-home care, so she’s used to meeting people where they are.
Background and approach
Cicely draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors. She also has experience with trauma-related work and anger management approaches when those issues come up. Cicely describes counseling as a partnership.
She helps people develop clearer communication and healthier coping skills. Sessions aim for practical tools you can use between meetings, not just talks in the room. She understands how growing up around anger and poor communication can shape adult patterns.
That personal perspective informs a straightforward focus on building peace, awareness, and better decision making. The goal is gradual change that fits daily life. People who want help with self-esteem, career stress, intimacy concerns, ADHD, or mild depressive symptoms may find her approach useful.
Her work emphasizes real skills, step-by-step progress, and support during transitions. To begin, she guides people through simple steps to set clear goals and practice new habits between sessions. The pace is set by each person’s needs and preferences.
How CBT and online sessions can support everyday change
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot patterns of thinking that increase stress or anxiety and then try different, more helpful behaviors. It is useful for worries, low mood, anger, and managing day-to-day challenges.She also uses focused strategies for trauma-related symptoms and anger when those concerns are present, offering concrete steps to reduce distress and improve coping. These approaches aim to give practical tools rather than only talk.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and preferences. That includes trying methods and adjusting them based on how things are going.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people use body language and facial cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, written reflection, or support between sessions. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and daily routines.
