About Charissa

Charissa Bogle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, mend relationship patterns, and work through trauma, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she encourages practical steps that fit day-to-day life.

She often uses approaches that emphasize values, emotion, and behavior change. Sessions can include learning skills to manage strong feelings, practicing clearer communication, and building routines that support recovery. Codependency is listed among her focus areas, and she helps people recognize and change unhelpful patterns in relationships.

Charissa has a background working with neurodivergent clients and with LGBTQ+ people, and she has many years of experience with trauma-related work. Her history includes work with military and veteran populations and with individuals affected by serious illness or caregiving stress. She draws on a mix of methods aimed at emotion regulation and attachment repair.

In sessions she emphasizes collaboration: clients set goals and try practical skills between meetings. Her training and continuing education support a trauma-informed, attachment-aware approach to healing. She frames therapy as a step-by-step process toward more satisfying relationships and steadier mood.

People who reach out can expect a therapist who listens closely, offers concrete tools, and helps tailor the work to each person’s life and priorities.

How her approaches shape online work

Charissa draws from several evidence-informed approaches to guide therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up; it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and living a values-driven life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and aims to strengthen safer connections and clearer communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That conversation helps decide whether to emphasize values-based work, attachment-focused exploration, skill-building, or a mix of methods.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try strategies in real-life settings and bring those experiences back to sessions for problem solving and practice.
