About Cicely
Cicely Charlson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and family conflict. She supports people working through trauma and abuse, anger, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, career questions, depression, ADHD, and life changes.
Cicely draws on eleven years of experience in the mental health field to guide practical next steps. She has worked in outpatient settings and provided in-home care, which shaped a pragmatic, down-to-earth style.
How Cicely works
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes rather than abstract theory. Cicely emphasizes improving communication and developing healthier coping choices to reduce conflict and build calm. Cicely often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and actions, then try new behaviors.
For trauma-related concerns she has used approaches focused on processing difficult experiences and on managing anger when it becomes overwhelming. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness. Her approach grew from personal experience with a family environment that lacked healthy communication.
That background informs her focus on teaching practical skills others can use at home and at work. She aims for clients to leave sessions with clear strategies and small steps they can try between meetings. Cicely frames counseling as a partnership.
She helps people build more peaceful day-to-day routines, clearer decision making, and gradual personal growth. The practice centers on real-life tools people can start using right away.

How Cicely adapts CBT for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change feelings and outcomes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with anger by giving concrete tools to test new ways of thinking and acting.Cicely also draws on trauma-focused methods that help people process upsetting events and learn safer ways to respond when memories or triggers arise. For anger-related concerns she emphasizes strategies to recognize escalation and practice calming responses in real situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Cicely collaborates with each person to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and how they respond in session. Together they adjust pace and techniques until the fit feels right.
Online sessions let people use video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what suits them best. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and role play. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit brief updates into a day and to keep momentum between longer visits. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, parenting, and other commitments.
