About Cicely
Cicely Charlson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She draws on 11 years in mental health to offer down-to-earth support and practical steps. Cicely aims to help clients find more calm, clearer choices, and better ways to cope when life feels overwhelming.
She works with people who are dealing with family conflict, trauma and abuse, anger, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem struggles, career questions, depression, and ADHD. Cicely has experience in outpatient and in-home settings, and she describes therapy as a partnership where clients set goals and try workable strategies between sessions.
Cicely uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a key way to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also draws on approaches aimed at processing traumatic events and addressing anger when those issues come up. In sessions she focuses on communication skills, coping tools, and small changes that add up.
Her approach is practical and compassionate. She emphasizes learning clear coping skills and improving how people talk about their needs. Cicely invites clients to explore habits and patterns, and to practice new responses that fit their daily life.
Many people come to therapy during transitions or after painful experiences. Cicely aims to help clients feel more empowered to make decisions and to build steady routines that support ongoing growth.
How CBT and trauma-focused care translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It often uses short exercises, practice assignments, and clear steps that can be worked on between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve mood.When trauma or strong anger responses are present, Cicely uses approaches that help people process difficult experiences and build alternative coping responses. These methods focus on describing what happened, noticing reactions, and learning safer ways to respond in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cicely will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit their situation. She treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts plans based on what helps in real life.
