About Charlise
Charlise Bell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem. Her stated areas also include family issues, parenting, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, and anger management.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus conversations on what matters most to the client. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change. These approaches guide practical conversations rather than abstract theory.
Charlise aims to talk through everyday problems in clear terms. Sessions typically address communication problems, workplace stress, feelings of guilt or shame, and questions about life purpose or self-love. She lists blended family issues and family problems among her focus areas, so stepparents and parents navigating merged households may find relevant support.
Her work favors straightforward goal-setting and small, doable steps. She frames progress as practical changes people can try between sessions. That includes practicing new ways to bring up difficult topics, managing strong emotions, and planning routines that reduce friction at home.
Charlise offers services in English and does not accept international clients. She asks prospective clients to use the site’s matching process to schedule a first session and to confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's concerns and priorities. The therapist listens and follows the client's lead so conversations stay practical and relevant. This helps when the main goal is clearer communication or sorting out family roles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often involve noticing patterns, testing unhelpful thoughts, and trying small behavioral changes. This is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress that affect day-to-day routines.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to strengthen motivation for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to help someone move from uncertainty to action. That can support parenting changes, managing anger, or keeping to plans agreed with a partner.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts what she does based on how a client responds and the issues they bring to sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions may use less bandwidth and be simpler on busy days, while video sessions let the therapist and client read facial cues and practice conversations together.
