Gesina Charles

Gesina Charles, LPC, is a licensed clinician based in Virginia with four years of professional experience. She supports people navigating stress, anxiety, anger, low self esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, and grief. Her work also includes attention to communication problems, feelings of emptiness, isolation and loneliness, post-traumatic stress, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.

Her practice draws on a range of clinical approaches, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused therapy. She emphasizes adapting conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s needs and goals rather than using a single standard method.

She approaches each request for help with sensitivity and respect. She aims to collaborate with people to identify practical strategies and to build skills for managing difficult moods and life transitions. Taking the first step toward therapy is acknowledged as an important decision, and the practice focuses on making that step as clear and manageable as possible.
