About Charvette
Charvette Simmons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience based in Texas. She focuses on clear, practical support for parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. Charvette helps people who are navigating life changes, career concerns, and challenges tied to parenting and caregiving.
She uses straightforward talk and collaborative planning to help clients sort through emotions and set small, doable goals. Sessions emphasize what people can try between meetings, so progress feels real and manageable.
Background and approach
Charvette also brings experience working with compassion fatigue in caregivers and people coping with adoption or foster-care related issues. Her approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. She helps clients spot patterns that keep them stuck and practice different ways of responding.
This method is often useful for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and anger concerns. Charvette has supported people through relationship and intimacy-related problems, separation and divorce issues, and communication breakdowns. She also addresses identity and social concerns such as prejudice and discrimination, and women’s issues.
For parents, she offers help with stress around raising children and balancing caregiving responsibilities. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.

How CBT and online sessions fit into parenting and life challenges
Charvette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT breaks problems into smaller pieces and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, impulsivity, and stress that comes with parenting or caregiving.She takes a collaborative approach to deciding what will work best. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust plans together. Finding the right approach is part of the process and can change as needs evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, problem-solving between sessions, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, and busy family routines.
