About Charlene

Charlene Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia who brings a calm, approachable presence to her work with adolescents, teenagers, and young adults. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling earned in December 2011 and has built a practice that blends a person-centered stance with practical techniques to help clients navigate emotional challenges and life transitions.

Her background includes clinical mental health work, crisis intervention, and case management across a range of settings such as nonprofit shelters, detention and secured facilities, health clinics, and both inpatient and outpatient care within community services. That variety of experience informs her ability to support people facing depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, relationship difficulties, and other concerns across developmental stages.

Charlene emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for growth, believing that clients make meaningful progress when they feel heard, valued, and understood. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to offer hands-on strategies for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. With a warm, nonintimidating manner, she focuses on building rapport and helping clients set practical goals for change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Charlene Smith



Charlene uses a client-centered approach which focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship so clients feel heard and respected; this approach is helpful for people working through identity, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical method that helps identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and problematic coping strategies. In some cases she draws on motivational interviewing techniques to help clients clarify their goals and strengthen motivation for change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Charlene collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to find the best path forward.

Online therapy with Charlene is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try different formats to suit comfort levels, and continue care during life transitions or busy periods.
