About Charniece

Charniece C. Scott is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with a decade of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, family conflict, depression, anger, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She has worked as a family therapist and as a behavioral health provider in a high school setting, providing practical, skills-based help for concerns such as parenting, relationship struggles, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and caregiving stress. Her style is warm, interactive, and respectful, emphasizing sensitivity and a nonjudgmental stance.

Charniece blends client-centered principles with cognitive and emotion-focused strategies and integrates trauma-informed tools when helpful. She frames treatment collaboratively and adapts conversations and plans to address each person’s needs rather than applying one fixed approach.

Clients who choose to work with Charniece can expect an emphasis on empowerment, clear coping skills, and attention to family-of-origin and attachment issues when relevant. She encourages those ready to pursue change and offers guidance aimed at fostering more fulfilling daily life and improved relationships.

Remote approaches that fit your life and needs

Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites exploration of different internal parts and their relationships, helping people understand and harmonize competing inner voices that contribute to anxiety, grief, or relationship conflict. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on acceptance, empathy, and collaboration, providing a supportive context where insight and personal growth can emerge. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider goals, preferences, and the presenting issues, adapting techniques from these approaches to create a tailored plan rather than insisting on a single method.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and flexible around busy schedules. These options let people connect from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity during life transitions, and select a format that feels most comfortable for tracking progress and practicing skills between meetings.
