Background and approach
When emotions run high, she teaches ways to calm down before saying something regrettable. Her style blends warmth and straightforwardness. She brings humor and compassion into sessions while focusing on real-life solutions.
Clients can expect concrete skills rather than only talk about problems. With 15 years of experience and a California LMFT credential, Charletta draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She also offers nature-based activities for people who prefer movement and outdoor work.
Sessions are available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese to meet diverse needs. Charletta supports people coping with relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem and identity questions, ADHD-related challenges, and mood issues like postpartum depression and seasonal affective disorder. She also addresses separation and blended family strain, infidelity, guilt, shame, and panic attacks.
Her goal is to help clients build better habits for calmer, clearer interactions.
Evidence-based approaches and online access
Charletta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful habits and building coping skills. One common approach she uses teaches communication skills and conflict routines so people can say what they need without escalating arguments. This helps with relationship tension and everyday stress.She also emphasizes self-regulation techniques that teach how to calm the body and mind during panic or strong emotions. These tools are useful for panic attacks, anxiety spikes, and moments of intense shame or guilt. When appropriate, she blends movement or nature-based activities into work to support people who find the outdoors grounding.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs to decide which techniques to try first. Clients and therapist regularly review progress and adjust methods as needed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and role-play, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging work for brief check-ins or when writing feels clearer. These formats make therapy more flexible so people can fit sessions into busy lives.
