Charesa Alphin, LPC

Charesa Alphin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of counseling experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or changes in their lives. She also supports those dealing with trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD, and social or workplace difficulties.

Her style is warm and person-centered. She aims to make clients feel heard and comfortable sharing their stories. Sessions are focused on practical steps and tools that people can use between meetings.

Charesa uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to build rapport and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also has experience with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma and Motivational Interviewing to help clarify goals.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns over the last decade, including mood disorders, grief, sexual assault and abuse, and issues linked to autism and caregiver stress. Her background includes work with trauma-focused and solution-focused strategies, and she continues to expand her skills through additional training.

Sessions are scheduled through the site’s matching process. Prospective clients complete a short questionnaire, then book based on the therapist’s availability. Charesa aims to find an approach that fits the person and their situation, and she invites people to explore options together.

How her approaches can guide online care

Charesa uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where people can tell their story and feel heard. That approach centers the person and helps build trust before moving into strategy work.

She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that cause stress or anxiety and to practice new, more helpful responses. For people affected by trauma, she also works with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an approach that can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories when paired with guided processing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean starting with person-centered listening, adding CBT tools, or working toward trauma-focused care when appropriate.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist uses the site’s scheduling and matching system to set appointments. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks at work or between other commitments. It can also support continuity of care for people managing ongoing stress and anxiety.
