About Charolette
Charolette Riale is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and focuses on what a person needs right now. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to create a supportive space for change.
With 16 years of experience, Charolette uses practical approaches to guide conversations and set achievable goals. She adapts the dialogue and plan to each person’s situation instead of using one fixed method.
How Charolette works
That can mean focusing on thoughts and behaviors one week and practical coping steps the next. She draws on client-centered work to listen closely and build a plan with the person, and on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments.
Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when someone needs help finding the drive to change, and trauma-focused methods are used when past harm affects daily life. Common concerns she addresses include relationship and family problems, parenting strain, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, and control or codependency issues. She also helps with substance use and related worries about domestic violence, divorce, or separation.
Conversations often include practical tools, skill practice, and steps to reduce stress. Sessions are tailored to what matters most to each person. Charolette aims to support clients as they make steady, manageable changes toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Charolette commonly uses client-centered therapy to listen closely and shape each session around the person’s priorities. This approach focuses on empathic listening and helping the client feel understood before setting goals.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps and practical exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Charolette will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the situation. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the plan as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
