About Charlene
Charlene Esquilin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with ten years of practice. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, and substance use issues.
She works with people who are managing family conflict, parenting pressures, career strain, and major life changes. Her approach includes straightforward strategies from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. Sessions aim to clarify what is most pressing and create practical next steps.
Charlene uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method when relationship patterns and emotional regulation are central to the work. She also draws on motivational interviewing for conversations about addiction and behavior change. The purpose is to find tools that fit daily life, not to rely on jargon.
In sessions she listens for concrete problems and helps people try small experiments between meetings. That might look like testing a communication skill, tracking mood and activity, or practicing brief grounding and attention skills. Progress is measured by what changes in day-to-day routines and relationships.
She offers therapy in English and does not take international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How her methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what a person says. It helps clarify priorities and build trust so practical work can follow. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation and coping skills in small, teachable steps, which helps when strong emotions or relationship patterns cause repeated problems.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will start by asking about current problems, goals, and daily routines. Together they will try approaches that match those goals and adjust methods based on what helps most in ordinary life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten some check-ins, and practice skills between sessions in real-life settings. Licensed professionals can use focused worksheets, communication practice, and brief mindfulness exercises that translate well to remote appointments.
