About Charlise
Charlise Bell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and the frustrations that come with family conflict. Charlise aims to make the first steps feel manageable and direct conversations toward practical change.
Her approach centers on listening first and shaping therapy around each person’s needs. She uses client-centered methods to keep conversations grounded in what matters to the individual.
How Charlise works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that can make days easier. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when people feel stuck or unsure about change. That method helps people find their own reasons to try something different instead of being pushed into it.
Sessions move at a practical pace and focus on clear, doable steps. Charlise also helps with issues like grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting concerns, bipolar mood concerns, and workplace stress. She pays attention to how blended family dynamics, communication problems, and young adult transitions affect everyday life.
The goal is to reduce overwhelm and build steady coping habits. People meet with her to talk through anger, guilt and forgiveness, life purpose, or problems at work and home. She offers straightforward support and aims to tailor plans so progress feels realistic and measurable.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow your lead, helping you name priorities and set goals that matter to you.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions, CBT often includes practical exercises and short between-session tasks to test new ways of thinking and behaving for anxiety, depression, or workplace stress.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. Delivered over video, phone, or chat, it uses guided conversation to build motivation so you choose steps that fit your life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to pick methods that match your goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as you make progress. This is a team effort focused on what helps you move forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
