About Charlise
Charlise Bell is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns around anger and self-esteem. Charlise also lists parenting, bipolar concerns, and issues of guilt and shame among her focus areas.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She uses client-centered methods to listen and learn what matters most to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of reacting.
Sessions tend to be practical and goal-minded. Conversations look at current problems and small, doable steps to manage them. For someone carrying guilt or shame, Charlise helps name those feelings and consider how they affect daily choices.
She brings motivational interviewing into work around change and stuckness. That helps people clarify what they want and find internal reasons to try different behaviors. This can apply to workplace friction, blended family issues, or struggles with motivation.
Charlise practices in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English. Her practice notes that session fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. In practice it means the therapist follows the client's concerns and priorities, checking understanding and shaping sessions around what feels most pressing. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through guilt or family strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new, practical responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and for shifting the behaviors that keep guilt or shame alive.
Motivational Interviewing is a brief, collaborative style that helps people find internal reasons to change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure how to take the next step, whether that relates to parenting, work, or personal goals.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which approach fits a person's needs and preferences through conversation and trial. This is a collaborative process that adjusts as goals become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can make regular work on guilt, shame, or mood concerns easier to maintain alongside everyday responsibilities.
