About Charlene

Charlene Scott is a Kentucky-licensed LPCC with 17 years of professional experience supporting people facing a wide range of life challenges. She has worked extensively with stress and anxiety, parenting concerns, motivation and self-esteem struggles, and coping with major life transitions.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses issues such as compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep difficulties, anger, career questions, depression, ADHD, and related concerns including caregiver stress, chronic illness or disability, and women’s issues. Her style emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can express thoughts and feelings honestly.

Charlene focuses on collaborative problem solving and empowerment, helping individuals identify practical strategies and small steps that fit their goals and daily realities. She aims to support clients through change by blending thoughtful listening with goal-oriented techniques rooted in evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered methods.

This combination helps clients build skills, increase resilience, and move toward a more satisfying life on their own terms.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Charlene integrates cognitive behavioral therapy with client-centered techniques to offer online support that balances skill building and empathetic listening. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s values and experiences guide the pace and goals of work. Motivational interviewing is also available as a complementary method to enhance readiness for change by exploring personal motivations and ambivalence.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; she works with clients to determine which combination of methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning their care and ensures interventions fit practical daily life concerns.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication preferences. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health challenges, and allow continuity of care even when attending in-person appointments is difficult.
