Charissa Bogle, LCSW

Charissa Bogle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through complex life challenges. She cultivates a compassionate, affirming environment where people can explore stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma recovery, grief, and self-esteem work while pursuing personal growth and stronger interpersonal connections.

Her practice emphasizes trauma-informed care, attachment and emotion regulation models, and a strengths-based perspective that recognizes each person as the expert of their own story. Charissa brings focused experience working with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities and addresses multicultural considerations with sensitivity. She has particular experience supporting individuals on the autism spectrum, having worked as a therapist and as an RBT - Registered Behavior Technician - using Applied Behavior Analysis, the Early Denver Model, social and play therapy, and interpersonal strategies for this population.

Charissa maintains CAIP certification, which reflects ongoing yearly training in anxiety-focused methods and related modalities such as Cognitive Processing, TF-CBT, Prolonged Exposure, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. She also has extensive training in dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, cognitive processing/STAIR, PAIRS, and trauma-focused approaches, and has led group work as part of her practice.

Her background includes ten years of federal-level work with military and Veteran populations, specializing in PTSD and substance abuse treatment. Charissa aims to empower clients to build resilience, improve communication, and create sustainable change through collaborative, nonjudgmental care.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where a person wants to live in line with what matters most.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and relating formed in early relationships and how those patterns show up now. This approach can help with relationship struggles, attachment issues, and healing from past relational wounds.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - combines skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. It is often applied when emotion regulation and coping skills are central concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Charissa will work with clients to identify goals, preferences, and needs, then tailor methods from these models to fit each person’s situation. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels practical and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so care can fit into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support, attend sessions from a comfortable setting, and access licensed professionals when in-person visits are not possible.
