About Charolette
Charolette Riale is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and parenting challenges. She emphasizes a respectful, compassionate approach and works with each person to set practical goals. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
She aims to make the first step feel manageable for worried parents and adults alike. With 16 years of experience, Charolette adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation.
Background and approach
She uses approaches that focus on the person’s own strengths and on problem solving. Sessions often include talking through difficult feelings, identifying small changes, and building new coping strategies. Charolette draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns.
She also uses client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in what matters to the individual. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach for people facing addictions or who need help finding motivation for change. People come to her for a range of concerns including relationship strain, family problems, abandonment issues, and caregiver stress.
She also supports those working through trauma, anger, depression, and life transitions. Conversations are practical, focused, and paced to match each person’s readiness to change. Her aim is to empower clients to make steady progress toward clearer goals.
She helps parents manage the stress of caregiving and guides people toward healthier patterns of thinking and behavior. Her practice centers on respect, sensitivity, and achievable steps forward.

Online approaches that fit busy lives
Charolette uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing in ways that translate well to online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking that worsen anxiety or depression and then practices small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Motivational interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own reasons for change, which can be especially helpful for addictions, caregiving stress, or when someone feels stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, readiness, and preferences. Together they review what feels useful and adjust the plan as progress is made, aiming for clear, achievable steps rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people keep visual connection and work through deeper material. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when shorter, more frequent contact helps maintain momentum.
