More about Charesa
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with ten years experience in counseling. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns but my specialties include parenting difficulties, childhood trauma, abuse, Autism, social difficulties, mood disorders, grief, ADHD, anxiety and depression.
My counseling approach is person-centered and I strive to create an environment in which you feel safe to share your story. I have training and experience in Client-Centered Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational interviewing and Animal Assisted Therapy in Counseling (AAT-C). I am also currently completing training as a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist and Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist. I look forward to meeting with you and working together to find which therapy modality works best for you.
I have always believed that everyone can benefit from counseling and I believe that is even more true as we have all been touched by the difficulties and challenges of the last few years related to pandemic stress, isolation and loss. At this time, I have appointments available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and I do my best to get your first appointment scheduled the same week you reach out to me to schedule. I have some flexibility if the hours listed on my calendar do not fit into your schedule. Just ask!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Charesa has gone above and beyond for me! Not one time have I ever felt judged by her! Highly recommend Charesa!
Amazing exoerience
Best therapist I’ve ever come across in my search of over 10 plus years.
My therapist knows what i need and helped me lean into therapy when I was nervous to start it. She had been a tremendous help.
Charesa is a truly gifted counselor. She is very patient and listens carefully to my concerns and gives me perspectives, tools and techniques to help me heal from my issues
I have loved my experience with Charesa! She is an amazing therapist, who makes me feel heard. She is extremely knowledgeable and has done an amazing job tailoring the therapy to be what I want it to be. I don’t feel pressured with her and feel that I can open up. I feel like she genuinely wants to help and support her clients. She has helped support and guide me through on my journey to work through my emotions, while also teaching me strategies for my everyday life to help support me.
I appreciate the perspective and insight that Charesa always has.
Fantastic therapist.
Been with Charesa for over a year now, and she's always been a lovely therapist. She's a great listener, dedicated to her work, and is wonderful at helping me process and understand my life's obstacles. Highly recommend finding a therapist that supports your best interest and is as passionate about their work as Charesa is! :)
Charesa is an excellent therapist!
My sessions with Charesa have always been productive. I can’t stress enough how much she has helped me. I recommend her highly.
I’m so glad that I found Charesa! She really listens to me and I feel very comfortable opening up to her. She offers great advice and has really helped me.
I love Charesa. She listens to me and my first session was better than expected.
I was super nervous and hesitant to start therapy but when I was matched with Charesa I knew it would be super beneficial and I would feel comfortable. She has been super kind and helpful. Would recommend her to anyone!
Charesa has been kind, empathetic, and has provided excellent care during my sessions.
I was very skeptical about therapy but ms alphin has help me tremendously. Especially thru the worst times
It has really helped me to talk with someone that isn’t a colleague or family member. She helps me to see outside perspectives and relates to my busy schedules and concerns that I’m really going through hard times, otherwise I would think it’s just me and I’m all alone in my thinking
Charesa is amazing! I am healing from significant psychological abuse within my marriage. Although my husband and I have been separated for 3 years due to his porn addiction, I hadn’t been able to get much traction due to severe PTSD symptoms. Charesa and I have been using EMDR for the last 2 months and I am starting to feel as if I can take small steps to move forward. As someone who may be on the autism spectrum, she has been very flexible in our sessions instead of rushing me through the processing. I feel beyond blessed to have found someone who truly gets trauma and I would recommend highly to others who are dealing with intimate partner betrayal trauma!
She's super nice and super helpful
Cheresa is the first therapist i feel is actually putting in work and care into helping me.
Charesa has helped me quite a bit these last few months. Having someone to talk to is invaluable and she is great at listening and offering insights.
Making the decision to start seeing Charesa is the healthiest thing I’ve done for myself in a long time. Though I wouldn’t say I was in a crazy unhealthy position before starting with her, I and the people around me can see a marked improvement in my emotional health since starting with her.
Such a great listener and very understanding and easy to talk to.
Charesa has helped me tremendously in quite a short time. She is great

10/10
I have been going to Charesa for therapy for a few months now and I can’t say enough great things about her. She has been a complete positive impact in my life and has changed my outlook of therapy as a whole. She is the best therapist I’ve ever encountered! Not only is she patient, caring and understanding but she goes above and beyond to make sure I always feel comfortable. She’s truly amazing.
Charesa has been so welcoming from the moment we got matched. I am beyond happy that she is my therapist and I am confident she can help me get through my troubles. I would recommend her to anyone.
Wonderful therapist
Charesa is incredibly thoughtful, understanding, and right now she’s the only support system I have. I have tried several therapists but right now I couldn’t imagine seeing anyone else. She’s truly gifted and caring.
From the first meeting with her, I've felt like Charesa is such a safe person who has my best interests at heart and who really hears and understands me. She is kind and understanding and thinks about me outside of our designated hour a week- she not only helps me set down my burdens, but she refills my tank with kindness and thoughtfulness. Seeing her is the best decision I've made for my mental health all year!
I'd highly recommend for anyone to use her
She’s great and I really appreciate her suggestions.
