Charolette Adams, LSCSW

Charolette Adams is an LSCSW with 26 years of clinical experience based in Kansas. She blends long-term practical life experience with formal clinical training to help people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Her work also includes grief, self-esteem, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and anger.

Charolette uses straightforward conversation and problem-solving in sessions. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and understand each person's goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down thoughts and actions that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps are used when helpful to manage strong emotions and focus on small change.

She acknowledges that life experience shapes how people respond to challenges. That perspective informs her approach to career and relationship concerns, and issues tied to aging, isolation, or prejudice. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related questions and family conflict.

Sessions tend to be practical and action-oriented while still attentive to feelings that underlie behavior. Charolette is comfortable addressing trauma-related themes with approaches that target both safety and coping skills. She notes less experience in parenting, alternative lifestyles, and addiction, and will work within those limits.

Her aim is to help people find clearer ways to handle anger, resentment, and the stress that builds up day to day. To begin, she asks about current challenges and what a manageable next step looks like for each person.
