About Chalice
Chalice Kopacki is a licensed master social worker with 15 years of experience. She focuses on counseling adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, and major life changes. Her background also includes work in healthcare, hospice, and academic settings, and she brings that range to each conversation.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens without judgment and helps people talk through what feels most urgent. She also supports concerns around relationships, intimacy, parenting, career shifts, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Kopacki uses approaches that center the client's experience. She draws on client-centered methods to prioritize what matters to each person. She also applies cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Her wider focus includes issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness and pain, and caregiver stress. She has additional experience with eating concerns, trauma and abuse, and identity-related stress in LGBT people. Alongside clinical work, she teaches and advises college students on career planning and job skills.
That academic background informs a practical, skills-based side to her counseling. People who want clear tools and steady support tend to find her approach useful.
How Chalice Uses Talk, Tools, and Focused Methods Online
Client-centered work puts the person's goals at the center. Sessions start by listening, identifying what matters most, and shaping the plan around those priorities. This approach fits many concerns from relationship strain to caregiver stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In sessions she teaches simple skills to test thoughts, try new actions, and track progress over time. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how emotions shape connections and choices. It helps people name feelings, understand patterns in relationships, and practice new ways of responding when emotions run high.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. Decisions about technique are collaborative and guided by what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for a full session with face-to-face interaction. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit short check-ins, notes between sessions, or people who prefer typing. These options make scheduling easier and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
