About Charmaine
Charmaine Dees is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with 18 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and family-related concerns.
She focuses on practical conversations that address what is happening now. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, naming realistic goals, and trying small changes between meetings. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness when those fit the situation.
Charmaine also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose values-based action. Motivational Interviewing is part of her style when someone needs help finding momentum and increasing motivation.
Her work includes attention to aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, fatherhood questions, and concerns common in young adulthood and midlife. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, and finding life purpose.
People can expect short, clear steps and practical homework when it makes sense. The focus is on manageable changes that fit work, family, and daily life. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service's booking flow.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then tests small changes to shift patterns. It often helps with stress, low mood, and unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which supports stress and compassion fatigue.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Charmaine will work with each person to weigh goals, current struggles, and personal preferences. Together they identify what methods to try first and adjust as progress is made.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific offerings are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family. It also allows shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and avoids travel time for appointments. These practical benefits often help people maintain momentum while addressing stress, communication problems, and mood concerns.
