About Chatone
Chatone Strickland is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She uses a practical, strengths-based approach to help clients clarify goals and overcome obstacles. Chatone frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person is the expert and she serves as a guide.
She helps people look at their thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs to find small, doable changes. Sessions include learning coping skills, practicing problem solving, and building habits that support daily life.
Background and approach
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Chatone draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to link thoughts and actions, and on Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are getting in the way of today’s functioning.
Those approaches are used to address concerns such as grief, addiction, relationship issues, and post-traumatic stress. With four years of experience she brings warmth and directness to sessions. Chatone emphasizes empathy and practical tools so clients can try strategies between meetings.
She works in English and accepts international clients for remote sessions. Her practice covers a wide range of life challenges including parenting strain, career stress, anger, depression, bipolar and ADHD related concerns. She also supports people working on smoking and vaping cessation.
The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client’s needs.
Approaches for anxiety and life transitions online
Chatone commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts influence feelings and actions, and to practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. She uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change, helping them identify personal reasons to move forward.When past events interfere with current life, Trauma-Focused Therapy can be used to address those memories and their impact on mood, relationships, or daily coping. The choice of approach is tailored to the issue at hand and discussed together so the client feels involved in planning their care.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or during a short break, and live chat or text messaging allow quick check-ins and written reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting into real life.
