Ramona Charles, LPC

Ramona Charles is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges that come with life changes. She focuses on building confidence, improving self-esteem, and supporting people through family conflict and difficult transitions like a midlife crisis. Ramona aims to create a respectful, sensitive space for people to speak openly about what feels hard right now.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She tailors conversations and a treatment plan to each person’s needs. Sessions usually involve setting clear goals, practicing skills, and checking progress so people notice real shifts over time.

Ramona draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to improve connection and communication. These methods are applied in straightforward, hands-on ways rather than jargon-filled lectures.

She brings three years of experience working with mood and anxiety concerns, panic attacks, trauma-related stress, and issues around body image and social anxiety. Ramona emphasizes respect and compassion in each meeting, and she works with clients to find practical steps forward.

To begin, she asks people to share what they hope to change and what feels most important. From there she co-creates a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Ramona uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework that build new problem-solving habits.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better coping during high-stress moments. These skills are practical tools people can try between sessions when strong feelings arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ramona will talk with each person about their goals, life situation, and preferences to decide which methods to try first. That choice is made together and can change as needs change.

Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, avoid travel time, or check in during a shorter break. It can also allow for quieter conversations when people are in a calm setting, or for shorter, skills-focused meetings when time is limited. Licensed professionals adapt what happens in sessions to what each person needs and what works in their everyday life.
