About Chauncey

Chauncey Chatman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are struggling with low self esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and changes that feel overwhelming. His manner is straightforward and collaborative, helping people name what matters and try small changes that add up.

Chauncey blends talk therapy with mindfulness practices to build self-awareness and more helpful habits. He uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and relationship patterns. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and noticing the patterns that keep problems stuck.

Before his current practice he worked as a school counselor, case manager, and member of mental health teams in hospitals and clinics across California. That work included coordination with psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and peer counselors. He holds a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Chapman University and is licensed in California as an LMFT.

In sessions he draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when people want to move toward change quickly. He also supports people facing addiction and trauma-related concerns while attending to issues such as attachment, codependency, and communication. Chauncey currently sees individual adult clients and offers work that focuses on real-life tools.

Readers interested in therapy should note sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. If someone wants to explore self esteem, parenting strain, or coping with life transitions, Chauncey aims to help clients set clear goals and practice steps between sessions.

How Chauncey’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people lead the pace of change. It is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort out values and confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical skills for anxiety, low self esteem, and mood issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chauncey aims to collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed.
