About Charletta

Charletta Erb is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people build calmer, kinder relationships with themselves and others. She focuses on practical skills clients can use right away to lower stress and improve communication. Sessions aim to leave people with specific calming tools and new ways to express needs without blame.

She offers straightforward, down-to-earth guidance and keeps a sense of humor in the room. Early sessions concentrate on breathing and relaxation techniques plus clearer ways to ask for what you need. When emotions run high, clients learn steps to soothe themselves before responding, which reduces regret and conflict.

Charletta emphasizes helping people change the way they talk to themselves. She encourages self-compassion and challenges unhelpful thoughts with simple, doable practices. Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and explanations from brain science to make change easier to understand.

She brings 15 years of clinical experience in California to sessions and works in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Her background includes supporting people with stress, anxiety, intimacy and relationship concerns, self-esteem, and ADHD, as well as issues like postpartum depression, panic, and complicated family transitions.

People looking to start therapy complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and availability.

Practical approaches that translate online

Charletta uses evidence-based techniques that focus on teaching clear skills you can practice between sessions. One common approach she uses is teaching calming and relaxation strategies that target panic and acute stress; these are step-by-step tools to lower arousal and help you respond instead of reacting. Another approach emphasizes communication and relationship skills drawn from systems-informed work, which helps people see recurring patterns and try different interaction habits to reduce blame and increase connection.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Together you will try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan based on what fits your life and progress.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since current session options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that suits your day, and let people use practices learned in sessions while at home or during a break. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises so they work well in remote sessions, and Charletta will help tailor frequency and methods to what helps you most.
