About Cicely
Cicely Charlson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on practical support for everyday parenting struggles. She helps parents manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family tensions, and find clearer ways to respond during challenging moments. Cicely writes short-term goals with each person so progress is measurable and realistic.
Cicely draws on 11 years in mental health, with time spent in outpatient clinics and in-home care. That experience shaped how she thinks about real-life parenting demands and coping strategies that fit a busy household.
Background and approach
She works with common concerns like trauma and abuse, anger, intimacy-related issues, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical approach that links thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Cicely helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors that lower stress and improve connection with others.
Sessions are conversational and focused on small changes that add up. Cicely emphasizes communication skills and healthy coping tools she learned through her own life. She partners with parents to build calmer routines, clearer boundaries, and stronger problem-solving.
The aim is better day-to-day functioning rather than a single quick fix. People who choose Cicely can expect straightforward suggestions, check-ins on progress, and skills to use between sessions. She encourages realistic steps toward more peace, better decision making, and greater confidence in parenting choices.

How Cicely Uses CBT Online to Support Parenting
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Cicely uses CBT to help parents spot unhelpful thinking, test different responses, and build routines that reduce stress and improve interactions with children and partners. It often helps with anxiety, anger, and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cicely works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, schedule, and comfort level. She checks in on what works and adapts tools over time so the plan fits everyday life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent alongside parenting demands and busy schedules.
