Charolette Adams, LSCSW

Charolette Adams is a licensed social worker with 26 years of practice who brings life experience and clinical skills to her work. She blends hard-won personal insight with what she learned in training to help people move past obstacles. Her background centers on depression, anxiety, and managing life changes.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She listens first, then helps people name what feels most urgent. From there she and the client choose practical steps to reduce stress, improve mood, or rebuild confidence.

Charolette uses familiar, evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking. She also draws on client-centered work to keep sessions directed by the person in the chair. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused tools show up when they fit a client's goals.

She has extensive experience working with grief, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and issues around intimacy and career. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, loneliness, communication problems, prejudice and discrimination, and women's issues.

People who do best with her tend to want clear ideas to try between sessions. She supports those aiming to strengthen self-esteem, find life purpose, or cope with big transitions. The tone in sessions is practical, respectful, and aimed at forward progress.

How Charolette’s Approaches Work Online and in Sessions

Client-centered therapy puts your goals first and follows your pace. The therapist listens without judgment and helps you decide what to work on next, which can be useful for dealing with life transitions and low mood.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thought that make problems worse. It uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with you about your needs and try methods that match your goals and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.

The practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into a busy life. Confirm the current session formats before booking since they were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use mindfulness or homework tasks in their usual surroundings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, client-centered conversations, and mindfulness practices to work well in remote sessions.
