About Charissa
Charissa Bogle is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can name what feels hard and try practical steps to feel steadier.
Charissa draws on narrative ideas to help people make sense of their life stories and find different ways to live those stories. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches to focus on values, emotional connection, and coping skills.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and focused on what a person wants to change. Her background includes work with neurodivergent people and people from LGBTQ+ communities, and she brings long experience with trauma-related concerns. Charissa has worked in clinical settings that addressed PTSD and substance-related problems and has supported caregivers and people facing serious illness.
In conversations she helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and then practices small changes together. That can look like reshaping unhelpful thoughts, learning new ways to talk about needs, trying brief mindfulness exercises, or testing different behaviors between sessions. Charissa practices in Tennessee as an LCSW.
She offers different online formats so people can choose what fits their life and comfort. Her work focuses on steady progress, not quick fixes, and on helping people reclaim more satisfying everyday routines.

Online session options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Charissa uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, making it easier to spot patterns and try new approaches. Narrative work is useful for relationship troubles, identity questions, and recovering from hurt.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. That approach often helps with anxiety, stress, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at emotional bonds and how early patterns affect current relationships, which can be helpful for communication and trust issues.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide what fits their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and pick what feels most manageable.
