Charolette Riale, LCSW - Therapist in Indiana

About Charolette

Charolette Riale is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, and problems tied to addiction or past abuse. She works to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where concerns are named plainly and practical next steps are discussed. Conversations are tailored to each person so the work fits real life and daily routines.

Charolette brings 16 years of experience to each session in Indiana and conducts therapy in English.

Background and approach

Her style is collaborative and grounded. She starts by listening to what matters most and then helps clients set clear, achievable goals. Her approach pulls from Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person's perspective central.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to address unhelpful thoughts and build motivation for change. When trauma or past abuse is present she incorporates trauma-focused methods to help reduce its daily impact. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for people who want direct, short-term strategies to move forward.

Charolette adapts techniques to the situation rather than following a rigid script. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Costs vary by location and follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Charolette’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, offering a listening-based foundation where the therapist follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs respect, validation, and time to name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides practical tools to change patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Charolette discusses options with each person and tailors methods to their goals, preferences, and daily life. She may combine strategies so work in sessions translates into small, manageable steps outside of therapy.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and people with limited travel time. Video calls let sessions feel face-to-face, phone sessions are useful when video is not possible, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter, ongoing check-ins between appointments. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into real schedules.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
