Sharla "Charlie" Harrison

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Everyone calls me “Charlie.” It is a nickname I have had since high school. I have a Master of Science Degree; I have a Licensed Professional Counselor Certification and am a National Certified Counselor as well. I feel that counseling is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. When you are in a time of crisis, it is difficult to think rationally. A good counselor will help you navigate those choppy waters so that you can go on to live a richer life. I have studied a great deal about trauma. I have been on a Crisis Response team and worked with victims of natural disasters. I believe that I would be a good fit for you if you have issues in any of these areas. I have found that there is one main issue in life, “I’m Not Good Enough.” A wellspring of difficulties can erupt from this one thing. So, allow me to put my education and my life experiences to work for you. I believe that this is my gift. I want to share that with you.

My treatment approach aims to help individuals develop coping skills, provide emotional support, encouragement, and feedback to help individuals address changes, challenges, and issues they are facing. Change and challenges are a part of life; however, sometimes, we need a little help getting through issues we are experiencing. I frequently draw from motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution focused therapy to help clients set goals and overcome their challenges. I use a variety of methods and techniques to provide a personalized approach; using what is most helpful for each individual given the challenges he or she is facing. Through understanding and compassion, I help individuals resolve a wide variety of concerns, crisis, psychological issues, and personal changes. Together, we will work to find techniques and solutions that will be the most beneficial to you.

I conduct 45-minute sessions, beginning on the hour and ending at a quarter till. A “No Show” is considered to be fifteen minutes past the hour. So, the next step is to hop onto my calendar and schedule your first appointment. We’ll take it from there. Talk soon!

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person care for most individuals.

One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the method of connection that fits their life best, whether that is a video session, a phone call, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to incorporate therapy into busy schedules and to access support from different locations.

All therapists providing online care are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. Online therapy can be a practical, effective way to work on everyday mental health concerns with a trained clinician.
