Therapist in Charleston, South Carolina Charlene Garner, LPC

Charlene Garner, LPC

Charlene Garner, LPC, is dedicated to helping individuals and families across South Carolina navigate life’s challenges through compassionate and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. With over five years of experience in counseling and social services, she provides individualized support to children, adolescents, and adults dealing with a variety of mental health concerns. Charlene specializes in treating anxiety, depression, childhood behavioral issues, ADHD, and trauma-related disorders, offering her expertise to guide clients toward emotional healing and personal growth. Charlene is especially passionate about working with children facing complex challenges. As a TF-CBT rostered therapist with specialized training in forensic interviewing and addressing sexual behavior problems in children, Charlene is committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment for young clients to explore their emotions and behaviors. Her training in working with trauma allows her to help clients process past experiences, rebuild their sense of safety, and develop healthy coping strategies. In addition to her focus on trauma and childhood behavioral issues, Charlene also offers therapeutic interventions for families navigating adoption, foster care, and developmental disabilities, such as autism spectrum disorders.

Her approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), family therapy, and Christian counseling, depending on each client’s unique needs. Charlene empowers parents with essential skills to support their children’s development, and she is adept at addressing the complex dynamics that can arise in these situations. Outside of her clinical practice, Charlene enjoys spending time with her family, exploring nature, and engaging in creative activities. These personal interests allow her to maintain balance and bring renewed energy into her work, helping her connect on a deeper level with her clients.
