Background and approach
That can mean short-term coaching for a specific problem or deeper work over time. Her work often uses straightforward techniques to change unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills. She also uses client-centered listening so people feel heard while they try new ways of handling stress and mood shifts.
Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps people find and strengthen their reasons to change. Chelette supports people facing a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addiction, career issues, and challenges tied to aging or chronic illness. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, isolation, and end-of-life stressors.
She explains options clearly and partners with clients to choose approaches that match their goals. Many clients come seeking relief from anxiety or help navigating loss, and she focuses on practical steps that can make daily life feel more manageable.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Chelette often blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to ease anxiety and depressive symptoms. Client-centered work emphasizes empathetic listening and helps people feel understood while they decide what changes to make.She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to make a change but feel stuck. That approach helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds commitment one step at a time. Together she and the client pick approaches that match the person’s goals and comfort level, adjusting plans as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and tracking small steps between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to stay engaged while working toward better management of anxiety and stress.
