Working with a therapist can help you gain insight into your thoughts and behavior and learn to meet the challenges in your own life. Whether you live in a small town or a major city like Tulsa or Oklahoma City, OK, finding in-person treatment in the state can be challenging.

Hello, my name is Cicely Charlson, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Oklahoma. I have 11 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in outpatient care as well as in-home. I have the most experience working with stress/anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma/abuse, anger management and life transitions. I have some experience with depression and mild autism. The modals of therapy I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma and Anger Management Therapy. Life is an ongoing journey through different transitions and challenges. Sometimes we can manage on our own and other times we may need a little extra support. I want to help you navigate those challenging times in your life. We will work together so you can achieve more peace, mindfulness and clarity in decision making. My belief for counseling comes from my passion to help people grow because if you are not growing then you are not living; every living thing grows and matures. I became a part of the mental health field because I grew up in an angry household where there was a lack of communication and healthy coping skills. Communication and healthy coping skills are some things I had to learn in order to achieve peace and mindfulness in my life. I want to partner with you so you will feel empowered to have that in your life as well.

I do not provide phone calls or video calls. What I do provide is text-only services. That means that a live text chat session is scheduled weekly for us to sit down and text together. I believe that human connection is the fundamental building block of therapy. Your comfort and providing a safe space for healing is my priority. I come from humble beginnings and have stayed close to those roots with my work in community mental health, mental health court, and residential addiction treatment. It is an honor and a privilege to do the work that I do. I have worked with diverse client needs, including addiction, anxiety, career concerns/aspirations, depression, relationships, and trauma. I have a primary therapeutic modality of Adlerian. We are social creatures so let’s connect and get you where you want to be! Therapy does not have to be all doom and gloom. It is about being comfortable getting uncomfortable but we will work through the uncomfortable together. If you have an emergency contact 911, 988 for the national crisis lifeline, or use the crisis text line by texting HOME to 741741.

I am especially passionate about serving the LGBTQIA+ community, and I have worked with many transgender and non-binary individuals on issues related to gender identity, transition, and mental health. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process, and I strive to learn about my clients' interests and goals so that I can help apply solutions that lead to real-life change that can be maintained beyond therapy. I'm dedicated to listening and understanding your needs, and I'm not interested in making a bunch of mini-me therapists through our sessions. Rather, I want to empower you with the tools and knowledge to advocate for yourself and achieve your goals.

As a licensed therapist (Licensed Professional Counselor), I obtained my Master of Counseling from Oklahoma State University/Tulsa, Oklahoma. My practice includes adults. I also offer extensive knowledge with the aging population, and care givers. I have been accomplished in facilitating support groups for various populations and numerous diagnoses, as well as training and education of other professionals regarding many Behavioral Health concerns. Specialties I offer, and am experienced and well trained in are anxiety, depression, grief/loss, dementia/cognitive impairment, trauma and stress-related disorders. Other areas of focus include sexuality, hoarding disorder and personality issues, as well as other Behavorial Health concerns. Although I recognize that all clients are unique individuals and different theories work differently with everyone, I work to assess clients and gain an understanding of what type of therapy will be most successful. Predominantly, I practice Person Centered and Solution Focused Therapy, and combine some Gestalt and Existential techniques as well. I start with an optimistic view of all clients, providing a positive, supportive, and comfortable atmosphere/conversation. I offer an empathic outlook, working to connect with you. I am hopeful my clients can feel autonomy, and I also ask, “what difference or change do you want to achieve”? I believe taking a look at your meaning in life can be insightful many times too. I also offer mindfulness techniques when appropriate, as I do credit holistic approaches important for us emotionally and physically. I prefer to work with adults aged 25 or older. Phone and video are astonishing ways to provide counseling sessions, however I am not so keen on live chat. I do use the messaging for in between sessions, if there is something of importance you want to share or let me know. I will do the same! I hope to facilitate and support you through this process and towards your goal in seeking therapy.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Some commonly asked questions can be found below.

How much does a therapist cost?

Mental health professionals can differ in price. Forbes found that the average cost of in-person therapy in the US is around $100 to $200 per hour. Pricing can also vary based on your location. 

BetterHelp offers payment plans of $60 to $90 per session, charged monthly in a lump sum. You can also take advantage of this pricing on one of BetterHelp's sister platforms, like ReGain for couples or TeenCounseling for teens aged 13 to 19.

Many therapists may be upfront about their pricing and whether or not they take health insurance from the beginning. Additionally, some in your area may offer a sliding scale plan to allow those with lower incomes to pay less for therapy. However, services online can often save individuals a few hundred dollars per month.

How do I know if I should get a therapist?

Mental health services and mental health providers may help you navigate various concerns. You do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy; You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general advice. A counselor may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Mental health issues don't always present as a crisis. Many professionals provide talk therapy and support for life transitions, skills learning, relationship problems, or life coaching. Online therapy sessions in Oklahoma can allow clients seeking therapy to experience professional help through video, phone, or live chat sessions without commuting to an office.

Does insurance cover therapy?

Different counseling services can vary in cost. Therapists must apply to accept insurance through insurance companies, which may take time and money, so not every therapist offers services through insurance. If you cannot find a therapist that accepts your plan, BetterHelp may be cheaper than visiting an in-person therapist.

Is online therapy safe?

Online therapy through BetterHelp and its sister platforms is safe. Therapists are licensed, experienced, and vetted before being contracted with the platform. If you experience any concerns with your therapist, you change your counselor through the platform or app at any time.
