About Charlene
Charlene McCleoud is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people carry heavy days without feeling alone. She meets adults who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or struggling with depression, anger, or major life changes. Her approach aims to make conversations feel calmer and more useful so people can take manageable steps forward.
She draws from practical, evidence-informed approaches and focuses on what each person needs in the moment. Sessions emphasize slowing down, naming what’s happening, and spotting the patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Charlene listens without judgment and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. With seven years of experience, she has supported adults through trauma, relationship tensions, career stress, emotional abuse, and the ongoing pressure of everyday responsibilities. She also attends to issues like sleep disruption, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.
In working together clients can expect a tailored plan that builds on existing strengths. Therapy may include skills practice, changes to unhelpful thinking, and guided reflection on emotions and patterns. The focus is on small, steady changes that fit real life.
Charlene practices in Oregon and holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Sessions are offered in English and she does not take international clients at this time.

How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to make sense of difficult feelings at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress because it gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It can be useful for moving through ambivalence around career shifts, health habits, or other life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying different methods and adjusting as progress is made.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography did not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or letting someone choose audio instead of video when they prefer. Talk with the therapist during the intake to identify what will work best for scheduling and comfort.
