Charissa Bogle, LCSW

Charissa Bogle, LCSW, offers a calm, nonjudgmental approach for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, or low self-esteem. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on practical steps forward.

With 14 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker in Tennessee, she draws on several therapeutic approaches to address emotional pain and relational difficulty. She works with people who identify as LGBTQ+ and with neurodivergent clients, and she brings experience from multicultural settings into the room.

Charissa uses trauma-informed and attachment-focused methods to help people understand how past experiences shape current relationships and reactions. She also uses cognitive and behavior-focused tools to build coping skills, reduce unhelpful thinking, and manage distressing symptoms.

Her background includes work with military and veteran populations and experience supporting people on the autism spectrum through behavioral and social strategies. She also has experience leading groups and working with complex cases involving co-occurring challenges such as substance concerns and trauma-related symptoms.

In sessions she centers the client’s goals and strengths, helping people develop clearer communication, stronger emotion regulation, and more fulfilling connections. The focus is on steady progress and real-life skills that can be used between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that move a person toward a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, stress, and relationship strain.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connections. This approach helps people recognize patterns in how they relate to others and practice different ways of communicating and connecting, which can reduce repeated conflicts and improve closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include mixing approaches so sessions remain practical and tailored to real-life concerns.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins that fit around work or caregiving. It can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to involve supportive conversation partners when appropriate.
