Cicely is great! I’ve been having weekly therapy sessions for around 4 1/2 months now. Probably closer to 5 months soon. She makes me feel heard, and I enjoy my sessions with her & always look forward to them. 10/10 would recommend her to others as well. Thank you for all you do with helping me, guiding me and listening. -Andrea Alexander

More about Cicely

  • 11 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello, my name is Cicely Charlson, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oklahoma. I have 11 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in outpatient care as well as in-home. I have the most experience working with stress/anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma/abuse, anger management and life transitions. I have some experience with depression and mild autism. The modals of therapy I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma and Anger Management Therapy.

Life is an ongoing journey through different transitions and challenges. Sometimes we can manage on our own and other times we may need a little extra support. I want to help you navigate those challenging times in your life. We will work together so you can achieve more peace, mindfulness and clarity in decision making. My belief for counseling comes from my passion to help people grow because if you are not growing then you are not living; every living thing grows and matures.

I became a part of the mental health field because I grew up in an angry household where there was a lack of communication and healthy coping skills. Communication and healthy coping skills are some things I had to learn in order to achieve peace and mindfulness in my life. I want to partner with you so you will feel empowered to have that in your life as well.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Cicely is an amazing listener. I have had two sessions with her at this point and I have made more progress than I have in years of trying with other therapists. She is absolutely amazing.

Cicely is amazing! She’s what I have really been looking for in a therapist. She fully listens to all my issues and helps me look at ways to solve and tackle them. She is kind and not condescending at all

Reviewed July 2022

I have loved working with Cicely. I didn't realize that a roadblock in my past therapy was that my former therapists coddled me quite a bit. Cicely challenges me to look at things in a very different manner than what comes naturally. She also pushes me to find authenticity in my interactions with others, and has encouraged me to be a better friend to myself. I would recommend her to anyone, but most especially to anyone who is also living through life as a Black woman in the U.S.

Cicely is truly a life savior, she listened to what I have to say and pointed out the important things that will help me. Now I feel like I have more control of myself and I'm extremely grateful to have her as my counselor. She is a super woman and I'm gonna miss her dearly.

Reviewed January 2021

I've been working with Cicely for a little over six months now, and she's been really helpful in gently pointing out areas to work on. She provides a safe space to vent, a listening ear, and feedback based on her professional expertise and religious faith (something I requested). In more recent months, I've begun to see my life transform into a better me. I'm not perfect by any means, but my thoughts and emotions aren't as damaging to my life (and others) as they'd once been.

Working with Cicely has been life changing — she connects with me on such an interpersonal level and has helped me work through / on / to resolve countless deep rooted issues. I have made bounds of progress / discovery in my own life because of working with her and continue to make paramount progress in each session that occurs.

Reviewed May 2020

Cicely has helped me through so much, I could say that me before therapy and after therapy are two different people. She made me challenge myself which I don’t do a lot but I did it and I faced my fears and now I am free of the despair and depression that once affected me so badly. 10/10
