Charissa Bogle , LCSW

Charissa Bogle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Tennessee with 14 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through complex emotional and relational challenges. She builds a compassionate, affirming therapeutic space where people can explore stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma recovery, grief, and self-esteem while working toward personal growth and stronger connections.

Her practice emphasizes understanding each person’s unique history and strengths, with particular experience supporting LGBTQ+ communities, neurodivergent clients, and those facing multicultural issues. She draws on trauma-informed, attachment, and emotion regulation models to guide healing and to help clients develop practical strategies for coping and communication.

Charissa maintains specialized training in anxiety-focused methods through CAIP certification, which includes ongoing yearly trainings in approaches such as Cognitive Processing, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. She also brings extensive training in group interventions, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, Cognitive Processing/STAIR, PAIRS relationship work, and trauma treatment.

Her background includes years working with autistic clients using Applied Behavior Analysis techniques and Early Denver Model approaches while serving as an RBT, as well as a decade of federal-level experience with military and Veteran populations focused on PTSD and substance abuse. She approaches therapy collaboratively, honoring that clients are the experts on their own stories and supporting them to build resilience and meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions rather than struggle with them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where getting unstuck matters more than eliminating every uncomfortable feeling.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and early connection patterns, exploring how past bonds influence current intimacy, communication, and trust. This approach is well suited to couples work, attachment concerns, and people healing from relational wounds.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. It is often used for emotion regulation challenges and complex stress responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Charissa will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what will be most helpful for real-world change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from home, during work breaks, or while managing caregiving and other responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver the same therapeutic skills and relational work as in-person care, making it easier to maintain consistency and progress.
