Charlene Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia. She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling in December 2011 and has three years of experience providing therapy services.
She has worked with diverse populations and particularly enjoys supporting adolescents, teenagers, and young adults. Her clinical background includes providing mental health care, crisis intervention, and case management in non-profit shelters, a detention/secured facility, a health clinic, inpatient and outpatient settings, and community-based programs.
Charlene has worked with adolescents, teenagers, and adults of all ages on concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger management, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, relationship issues, family conflicts, and bipolar disorder, among other challenges.
Her therapeutic style is warm and approachable, which helps her build strong rapport with those she serves. Charlene’s primary orientation is person-centered, reflecting her belief that a supportive therapeutic relationship is essential for growth, and she also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to provide practical, hands-on strategies for problem solving. Her goal is to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to their difficulties so they can improve how they feel.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the format that best fits their schedule and comfort level, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or messaging within an app. This flexibility makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and if a client feels they need a different fit, it is possible to switch therapists at any time. For many people, online therapy provides a practical and accessible option for addressing everyday mental health concerns.
