Charissa Bogle , LCSW

Charissa Bogle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 14 years of clinical experience supporting individuals and couples through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. As an LCSW she provides psychotherapy grounded in clinical training and practical experience, offering a calm and affirming presence for people working through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues with self-esteem.

Her practice emphasizes understanding each person’s unique story, with particular experience supporting LGBTQ+ communities and neurodivergent individuals. Charissa works from a progressive, non-judgmental stance to help clients explore self-compassion, improve communication, and heal from past wounds while pursuing meaningful personal growth.

Much of her clinical work is informed by trauma-aware, attachment-focused, and emotion-regulation models. She is CAIP certified, which involves ongoing yearly training in anxiety-focused methods and modalities such as Cognitive Processing, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), Prolonged Exposure, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion Focused Individual Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT). She also brings extensive training in dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, cognitive processing/STAIR, PAIRS, and trauma treatments, and has experience facilitating groups.

Charissa’s background includes years working with people on the autism spectrum using Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), the Early Denver System Model (EDSM), social and play therapy, and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) skills. She also spent ten years working with military and Veteran populations at the federal level, specializing in PTSD and substance abuse treatment. Her approach is collaborative and strengths-based, centering clients as experts in their own lives while supporting them to build resilience, deepen connections, and create sustainable change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and challenges with motivation or avoidance.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection formed in relationships and how early attachment experiences influence current emotional responses. This approach can be helpful for people working on relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, and interpersonal trust.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. It is particularly useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and improving day-to-day coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Charissa works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions may take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations, supporting continuity of care and consistent progress toward personal goals.
