About Cicely
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience, Cicely Charlson focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, intimacy-related issues, parenting, self-esteem, career worries, depression, life changes, and ADHD. Cicely has worked in outpatient settings and provided in-home care. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and also draws on Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and anger management approaches for trauma and anger work.
Cicely helps people talk through everyday stress and big transitions. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She uses CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. With trauma-related work she applies CPT techniques to process difficult memories and reduce their hold on current life.
Her background includes direct work in community outpatient clinics and in-home support. That experience shaped a focus on communication skills and coping strategies that fit real-life routines. Cicely notes she has some experience supporting people with depression and mild autism and adapts her pacing to individual needs.
In sessions she emphasizes clearer communication and learning coping tools. Work often includes practicing new responses between meetings. She frames counseling as a partnership where the client’s goals guide the plan.
Cicely describes her motivation as growing out of personal experience with an angry household and limited communication in childhood. That history led her to prioritize teaching healthier coping and communication skills. She encourages people to build mindfulness, better decision making, and steadier daily routines.

How Cicely uses CBT and trauma work online
Online work with Cicely will draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing new skills between meetings. This approach commonly helps with anxiety, stress, low mood, and everyday coping.For trauma-related concerns she uses Cognitive Processing Therapy in ways that help people understand and reframe distressing memories. CPT-style work looks at meaning and beliefs tied to traumatic events and supports gradual processing rather than rushing through difficult material.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cicely will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, CPT, anger management work, or a mix fits best. Goals, current problems, and personal preferences guide those choices.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists often adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so progress continues between appointments.
