About Chloe
Chloe Smith-Ferguson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and relationship concerns. She focuses on practical steps like building coping skills, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and setting achievable goals.

Her style is collaborative. She treats each person as the expert in their life and offers guidance and support.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill practice, thought work, and planning small actions to move forward. Chloe uses clear, straightforward techniques rather than jargon-filled talk. Chloe has eight years of experience and completed an Interprofessional Fellowship with the Veterans Health Administration.
That fellowship involved providing individual and group therapy. Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns from situational anxieties to more persistent mental illnesses and mood disorders. She draws on a mix of methods to match individual needs.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports values-based action when feelings are intense. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness practices help with emotion regulation and staying grounded.
Chloe offers sessions to people in Illinois and conducts therapy in English. She uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more convenient. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.
Therapeutic tools for online care
Chloe often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce panic, anxiety, and low mood. ACT emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small actions even when difficult feelings are present, which helps with motivation and long-term goals.Finding the right approach is something Chloe works on together with each person. She will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust what she uses based on what fits best. The process is collaborative and practical, with options reviewed as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use body language and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text offer flexible, on-the-go check-ins and skill practice between longer sessions. These options are intended to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives and different schedules.
