About Chayah
Dr. Chayah Stoneberg is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) based in South Carolina. She brings five years of clinical experience and a background in literature and the arts into her work.
She blends practical therapy with creative practices to help people dealing with anxiety, stress, and life changes. Stoneberg draws on writing, poetry, and visual arts to help people name and move through strong feelings. Sessions are conversational and often include creative prompts or short expressive exercises.
Background and approach
She uses simple tools to manage anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and relationship stress. Her work also supports those facing grief, chronic illness, or big life transitions. The approach is grounded and hands-on - clients leave with doable steps for daily life.
Over time the focus shifts from coping to rebuilding routines and confidence. Stoneberg trained and taught in humanities programs and has led arts-focused grief work. That background shapes how she frames difficult topics and introduces expressive practices into sessions.
She explains techniques in plain language and models small ways to practice them between meetings. Sessions are offered online in English and she accepts international clients. Therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Cost varies with location and depends on the subscription service used, which can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic techniques and online care
Dr. Stoneberg uses a mix of evidence-based techniques alongside creative practices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and sleep disruption. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and mindful action, helping people tolerate difficult feelings while moving toward a chosen life direction.She also brings art-based methods into sessions, using writing, poetry, or visual prompts to access emotions that can be hard to name. These expressive practices can be especially useful for working through grief, chronic illness, and big life changes. The therapist combines these methods based on each person’s needs rather than using one fixed model.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods as needed so the work fits the client’s preferences and daily life.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video is useful for deeper therapeutic work and creative prompts, phone calls can be simpler when video is not needed, and text or chat allow quick check-ins and flexible communication between sessions.
