I am a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma. I received a Bachelor of Science from Southern Nazarene University in Family Studies and Gerontology and a Masters of Human Relations with the emphasis of Licensed Professional Counseling from The University of Oklahoma. I have experience with adults, families, and groups. I have worked with those struggling with mild to severe mental illness as well as those individuals who are struggling with issues including depression, grief & loss, abuse/neglect, addictions with dual diagnosis, behavioral problems, bipolar, and parenting problems. I adapt my counseling style to each individual. However, within my experience, I have noticed that clients are more adaptable to me utilizing a counseling style of a client-focused approach. I believe that it is important to meet the client where they currently are in their journey of life and work from that point. I am a very transparent-honest-caring individual in my day to day life and I bring that trait to each session with the belief that in doing so, the client feels more at ease with being honest as issues and challenges are being processed. I believe everyone deserves respect and compassion as well as the opportunity to have added support when needed. My approach/style combines cognitive-behavioral and client-centered….just to name a few. A client’s treatment plan and the direction of the sessions will be tailored to meet the individual needs. "Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come".

11 years offering treatment
Hello, my name is Cicely Charlson, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oklahoma. I have 11 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in outpatient care as well as in-home. I have the most experience working with stress/anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma/abuse, anger management and life transitions. I have some experience with depression and mild autism. The modals of therapy I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma and Anger Management Therapy. Life is an ongoing journey through different transitions and challenges. Sometimes we can manage on our own and other times we may need a little extra support. I want to help you navigate those challenging times in your life. We will work together so you can achieve more peace, mindfulness and clarity in decision making. My belief for counseling comes from my passion to help people grow because if you are not growing then you are not living; every living thing grows and matures. I became a part of the mental health field because I grew up in an angry household where there was a lack of communication and healthy coping skills. Communication and healthy coping skills are some things I had to learn in order to achieve peace and mindfulness in my life. I want to partner with you so you will feel empowered to have that in your life as well.

6 years offering treatment
I am a licensed therapist (LCSW) in Oklahoma with 6 years of professional work experience. Before going back to school, I spent 17 years in an agency assisting individuals to meet their education and employment goals. Many of these individuals were experiencing a variety of challenges getting to work or maintaining a job due to past trauma, anxiety, depression, etc. At that time, I did not have the education, training or experience to assist individuals with these challenges. Five years ago, I started on a journey to obtain a Master’s degree as a licensed therapist. I focused my training toward trauma informed care as well as person centered care. My form of therapy consists of guidance and direction in the areas of life where excessive negative thinking patterns affect an individual’s self-actualization. Past trauma experiences often manifest in difficult relationships today. Anxiety and depression can make anyone’s life difficult. I employ various therapy techniques such as CBT, DBT, grief models, and EMDR, to name a few. I assist clients in their search for the most effective technique to improve their quality of life. My experience includes assisting clients who have or are experiencing trauma, abuse, stress, depression, relationship issues, and/or anxiety. I assist clients coping with grief, loss, motivation, self-esteem, and self-confidence. I work with my clients to create an open and honest dialogue where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear, judgment or criticism. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
