About Chalice

Chalice Kopacki is a licensed social worker with 15 years of practice experience. She focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and family concerns. She works in plain, direct language and offers steady support to people juggling busy lives.

She started her career across healthcare, hospice, academia, and mental health settings. In recent years she has concentrated mainly on counseling. She has also worked with children and families and supports college students with career planning and job search skills.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens without judgment and helps people sort through problems one step at a time. She uses tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused approaches, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These methods are adapted to each person's situation rather than applied the same way for everyone.

Chalice aims to be practical and responsive. She describes therapy as walking alongside someone, offering encouragement and concrete strategies for coping. Her background in healthcare and teaching informs a straightforward, supportive style.

She practices in Michigan and provides services in English. Her training as an LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - guides her clinical work. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their life.

Online approaches that fit busy family lives

Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and make choices that match their values, which is useful when family or parenting stress feels overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping with anxiety, depression, or anger.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express core emotions and improve connection in relationships. It can be helpful for attachment, communication problems, and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chalice will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as situations change.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls and phone sessions let people meet from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit regular care into caregiving, work, and family routines.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
