About Charniece

Charniece C. Scott is an LCSW with ten years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and a range of family and life transition concerns.

Background and approach

She has a background as a family therapist and worked as a behavioral health provider in a high school setting, where she supported clients navigating grief, anger, family conflict, and mood concerns. Her style is warm, interactive, and rooted in respect and compassion, avoiding stigmatizing labels while focusing on each person’s unique needs.

She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally focused techniques, and integrates EMDR and mindfulness-based ideas when appropriate to address trauma, attachment wounds, and coping skills. Charniece structures treatment collaboratively, tailoring conversations and plans to the specific goals a client brings.

She offers services in Louisiana and communicates in English, helping people explore change, build coping strategies, and work toward clearer communication and emotional regulation.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and flexibility

Charniece often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers structured tools to support change.

She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so that a person's goals and values guide the work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy appears in her work when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are central, helping people explore emotions and improve communication in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts interventions over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online offerings include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for greater flexibility in scheduling and communication. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life and accessing support from Louisiana-based licensed professionals.
