About Charissa

Charissa Bogle, LCSW, focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, or relationship struggles. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what’s painful and find practical steps forward.

Background and approach

Her approach mixes evidence-based methods with a down-to-earth style. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of the toolbox for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Charissa brings 14 years of clinical experience in Tennessee. That time includes work with people who identify as LGBTQ+ and with neurodivergent clients, as well as veterans and those facing trauma and substance use concerns.

She writes and teaches about anxiety-focused methods and keeps up regular professional education. In sessions she aims to be direct and compassionate.

Conversations often include practical skills, values-based goals, and problem solving that fit a person’s life. She works with individuals and couples who want clearer communication and stronger connection.

People who choose her often want an approach that balances emotion-focused understanding with concrete strategies. Her practice is built around listening first, then helping clients try small changes that add up over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with hard thoughts. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and trouble making choices. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with trust, closeness, and recurring interaction problems. The Gottman Method focuses on communication and repair in close relationships and offers concrete skills for improving how partners talk and solve problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals and try methods that fit their situation. Progress is checked together and the plan is adjusted when something isn’t working. Clients help shape which tools and exercises are used in sessions.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people work in real time with visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or when someone prefers shorter written interactions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and to keep continuity of care when schedules change.
