Mohanne Charles , LICSW, LCSW

Mohanne Charles is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She holds an MA LICSW and an NC LCSW and brings a decade of clinical experience to her work. Mohanne centers her practice on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She has a particular interest in women's issues and supports those facing life changes and low self-esteem.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that keep someone stuck and on building practical coping skills. She combines talk-based work with attention to the body and nervous system to help people feel more grounded and regulated.

Mohanne blends trauma-informed care with evidence-based techniques and mindfulness. She helps clients learn tools for emotional overwhelm, set and keep boundaries, and handle relationship strain. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Clients can expect a collaborative style. Mohanne helps people name what matters to them and choose steps that fit their daily life. She aims to create a space where honesty and real change are possible.

Her practice also addresses specific life stresses such as caregiver strain, divorce and separation, fertility and fatherhood issues, aging concerns, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Mohanne works to translate therapeutic ideas into small, useful actions people can try between sessions.

Evidence-based techniques for online care

Mohanne uses trauma-informed, evidence-based methods that translate well to remote formats. One approach focuses on nervous system education and somatic awareness, helping people notice body signs of stress and learn small grounding exercises. This can reduce overwhelm and support emotion regulation during anxiety or trauma-related work.

She also integrates mindfulness practices that teach present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness helps with persistent worry, low mood, and chronic stress by building skills for staying steady in difficult moments.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Mohanne works with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels helpful. She discusses options openly and tailors plans to individual needs and daily life demands.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and guided exercises, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging lets someone reflect between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills in real time.
