Charlene is amazing at not only listening to my concerns but providing coping skills to deal with my issues outside of therapy. I enjoy that she validates my feelings while still calling me out on my negative behaviors that I am trying to improve on. I have found (& been told) that I have improved overall in managing my emotions over the past year since starting therapy with Charlene.

Charlene continues to be such a huge help in me continuing to learn and understand myself. She recalls things that previously helped me or details that I don’t even remember telling her. She is attentive, patient, and empathetic. She validates my feelings and empowers me to believe in myself more. I am very grateful for her.

Charlene is absolutely incredible. She is such an amazing listener and always provides resources to help further. She is charismatic, honest, and calm. As a first time therapy user, she made this experience one that I'll never forget. I recommend her to anyone that could use an ear and some very effective strategies in your areas of trouble.
Thank you, Charlene!

I am so happy that I found Charlene. I had signed up with Better Help a few weeks before I found her, but scheduling with time changes was difficult matching with other therapists. When I started searching, Charlene's reviews were wonderful (and absolutely true). She is patient, a wonderful listener, empathetic, and always responds in a timely manner. I always look forward to the days when we have our video chat sessions, and I can truly tell there's been an improvement in myself since working with her.

When I first started with the Better Help App I was extremely disappointed with my First Theropist that was assigned to me and I was ready to cancel my membership, that’s when I was switched to my now Theropist Charlene Esquilin. I truly can not say enough about Charlene!!! :) she’s absolutely Amazing!!!! She offers Excellent Advice, as well she is always willing to just listen when I need to just get things off my chest, she has helped me in so many ways . I lost my oldest son 6 1/2 years ago and to date Charlene has helped me even more I believe than she may even possibly realize and I’ve only had a handful of sessions to date with her. I am truly Thankful as well beyond Grateful to have been paired with Charlene! I would recommend her a million times over and over again to everyone!!!

Charlene has been great during this difficult period in my life. She is an attentive listener and has given me many helpful worksheets to review and help me with effectively communicating.

I was matched with Charlene at the perfect time and appreciate how we meshed from the very beginning. She has been extremely communicative, understanding, and a sense of peace. During my sessions with her, I can just unwind my brain and truly feel heard. The suggestions and practices she provides me with are amazing and incredibly helpful. I cannot recommend Charlene enough, regardless of what you are navigating through.

Where can I start , the day I signed up to better help I didn’t know what to expect. Not sure how the selection is chosen but I am happy I am paired with her , she opened up to me about herself and gave her me her resume on how long she’s been a counselor. I am more than happy with her being my counselor she is so sweet and a great listener. It’s almost like she’s knows when something is wrong and it’s only 2nd time having an appointment with her. I highly recommend her as my counselor. She can tell you I was being stubborn saying I dish to need counseling and she quickly changed my mind. Soon as we finish our sessions I feel so much lighter and I am super great full for her presence. I’d give her a 5 star google review.

Exceptional counselor

Ms. Esquilin has been a tremendous help for me. Caring, compassionate, and a genuinely good person are some words I would use to describe her. As someone who, until recently, never put much weight into counseling, I can honestly say that Ms. Esquilin has changed that and has allowed me to open up freely.
