Charissa Bogle , LCSW

Charissa Bogle is a licensed therapist in Tennessee with 14 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through complex life challenges. She practices as an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and creates a compassionate, affirming space for people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues with self-esteem.

Her methods emphasize an understanding of each person’s unique history and strengths, with specialized experience working with LGBTQ+ communities, neurodivergent clients, and people facing multicultural concerns. She offers a progressive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore communication skills, develop self-compassion, and work toward healing from past experiences.

Bogle draws on multiple evidence-informed approaches, including acceptance-focused therapies, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, and skills training from dialectical behavior therapy. She is CAIP certified, which means she maintains annual training in anxiety-focused methods and related modalities such as Cognitive Processing, Trauma-Focused CBT, Prolonged Exposure, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy.

Her clinical background also includes group work and training in mindfulness, cognitive processing, PAIRS relationship education, and trauma-focused therapies. Years of experience with the Autism Spectrum have included roles as a therapist and Registered Behavior Technician using Applied Behavioral Analysis, the Early Denver Model, social and play therapies, and interpersonal approaches.

Bogle spent ten years working with military and veteran populations at the federal level, concentrating on PTSD and substance use treatment. She approaches therapy with the belief that clients are the experts of their own stories and that their existing strengths can support meaningful change. Her aim is to empower people to build resilience, strengthen connections, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

Approaches for Online Healing and Skills-Based Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build psychological flexibility through mindful awareness and committed action. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and situations where people want to live more in line with their values.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that form in close relationships. It helps people understand how early bonds influence their current connections and works well for relationship concerns, abandonment issues, and trauma-related attachment wounds.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills. These techniques are useful for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing reactive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Charissa collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts interventions over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing skills training, check-ins, and support from a distance.
