About Charesa

Charesa Alphin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience working with individuals across the lifespan. She focuses on concerns such as parenting challenges, childhood trauma and abuse, autism and social difficulties, mood disorders, grief, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. Her practice emphasizes creating a person-centered atmosphere where people can feel respected and heard as they explore their experiences and goals.

Alphin draws on a range of therapeutic trainings to tailor care to each person's needs. She has experience with Client-Centered Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Animal Assisted Therapy in Counseling (AAT-C). She is also completing additional training to become a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist and a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist, which expands her skills in supporting grief and autism-related concerns.

Charesa approaches therapy as a collaborative process, helping clients identify which modality or combination of approaches will best address their priorities. She holds a practical, empathetic stance and aims to help people develop coping strategies, process traumatic experiences, and strengthen relationships and daily functioning after significant life stressors.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care

Charesa Alphin uses a mix of evidence-based approaches tailored to each person's situation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and supporting the client's own ability to find solutions; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to explore identity, relationships, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms through structured strategies and behavioral experiments. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, which can be particularly helpful for post-traumatic stress and complex trauma.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work, and Charesa collaborates with each person to determine which methods or combination of methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life or to connect from different locations. These options support consistent engagement with licensed professionals and allow therapy to continue despite scheduling or travel challenges, while preserving the therapeutic relationship and focus on meaningful change.
