Background and approach
Charletta emphasizes learning how to calm yourself before reacting, and she teaches simple steps to reduce blaming and escalation. She also works on self-talk, helping people notice harsh inner voices and replace them with kinder language. Her approach mixes real-world exercises with explanations about how the brain responds during conflict and stress.
She often uses outdoor or nature-based activities when they suit the client, pairing movement and fresh air with therapeutic conversation. This can make emotional work feel more manageable for some people. Charletta brings 15 years of clinical experience as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - in California.
She balances warmth and humor with clear guidance, aiming to make sessions feel approachable and useful. She speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese, which can help clients connect in the language they prefer. Practicality guides her work: each session focuses on skills you can use the same day.
Whether the goal is reducing panic, improving intimacy, or managing ADHD-related struggles, Charletta emphasizes small steps that add up over time.
Approaches, collaboration, and online convenience
Charletta uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical skills. One approach emphasizes communication skills - learning short phrases and structured turns to reduce blaming and make conversations calmer. This helps when tension rises and people want clearer ways to be heard.She also teaches emotion regulation and relaxation strategies drawn from proven methods. These are simple breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and step-by-step ways to calm the body during panic or overwhelm, which can be helpful for anxiety, panic attacks, and ADHD-related reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Charletta will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She checks in and adjusts strategies so the plan stays practical and useful.
Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone calls can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer ongoing support between sessions or a less formal way to touch base. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
