About Cicely
Cicely Charlson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, relationship problems, parenting strain, or big life changes. Cicely speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful.
Cicely has 11 years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked in outpatient settings and provided in-home care. That background gives her a sense of practical ways to handle day-to-day challenges and family tensions.
Background and approach
Her sessions often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on approach that looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to find better ways to cope. She also draws on methods for anger management and trauma-related care when those fit the situation. Conversations tend to focus on specific problems and steps to change what isn't working.
Clients can expect an emphasis on building communication skills and healthier coping tools. Cicely describes growth as central to well-being, and she aims to help people gain more calm, clearer choices, and better decision making. She encourages small, achievable changes rather than big leaps.
Her personal experience growing up in a tense home influenced her interest in teaching communication and coping skills. She wants to partner with people who are ready to work toward more peace and practical strategies for everyday life.
CBT and practical approaches for online support
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replaces them with practical strategies for anxiety, stress, and mood problems. This approach is active and goal-oriented, with tools and exercises to use between sessions.She also brings in anger management techniques and trauma-informed methods when needed. Anger work focuses on recognizing triggers and learning new responses. Trauma-related methods aim to help people process difficult experiences and reduce their everyday impact.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend approaches that fit. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer flexible ways to touch base between appointments and fit therapy into a busy day.
