About Charniece

Charniece C. Scott, LCSW, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and work or caregiver strain. Her work includes addressing family issues like blended families, attachment and abandonment, communication problems, and forgiveness.

She practices in Louisiana and brings about 10 years of experience from school-based behavioral health and family therapy settings. Her manner is warm and interactive. She aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion rather than using stigmatizing labels.

Sessions focus on practical conversation and step-by-step planning. She uses ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people identify thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Emotionally-Focused ideas guide work on attachments and relationship patterns.

For trauma-related concerns she incorporates Trauma-focused tools such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and mindfulness techniques to manage intense feelings and bodily stress. She adapts sessions to fit each person's needs and goals instead of following one fixed plan.

Charniece describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set realistic goals and practices between sessions. If someone is ready to make changes, she provides steady support and practical steps to move forward.

How these approaches inform online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the person. It emphasizes empathy and supporting a person’s own problem-solving, which helps with stress, relationship concerns, and self-esteem issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change habits that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that interfere with daily life.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets how people experience and respond to emotions, which can help with attachment, commitment concerns, and relationship patterns. EFT work often looks at emotional reactions and how to express needs more clearly.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may shift over time as goals change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Talk with the therapist about practical scheduling needs, what to expect in sessions, and any accommodations that would help make regular sessions realistic.
