About Charesa
Charesa Alphin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and relationship or intimacy issues. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, grief, workplace problems, and LGBT-related concerns.
Her style is warm and person-centered. She aims to create a calm space where people can tell their stories and feel heard.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps, clear goals, and gentle reflection rather than jargon. Charesa blends several approaches to suit each person’s needs. She uses Narrative Therapy to help clients reframe life stories.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions rooted in the client’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) inform her work for trauma, anxiety, and mood symptoms. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set goals and track progress.
That mix lets sessions shift between making sense of past experiences and building new coping skills for day-to-day life. Charesa works by collaborating on treatment plans and adjusting methods as needs change. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Her practice operates on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online session options
How her approaches shape online therapy
Charesa uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and make changes that feel more useful. That work can help with identity concerns, grief, and long-running patterns that cause stress.She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions follow the client’s priorities and pace. This approach is helpful when someone needs a calm space to sort through feelings and decide what comes next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that match those goals. If one way isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan so sessions stay useful and focused on measurable progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for ongoing support between sessions, brief updates, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep consistent care while balancing work, family, and other duties.
