About Chatone

Chatone Strickland is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Texas. She has four years of professional experience and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and life changes. Her approach centers on practical steps to make day-to-day life more manageable and more meaningful.

She works with clients to clarify what matters to them and then looks at what gets in the way. Sessions involve talking through thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs.

Background and approach

She teaches coping skills, problem solving, and ways to manage strong emotions. Chatone draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape the work. She blends these methods to match what each person needs.

The goal is steady progress, not instant fixes. Her style is warm and strengths-based. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life while offering guidance and tools.

She also addresses specific concerns like parenting, grief, intimacy-related issues, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and smoking or vaping cessation. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits them.

Chatone aims to help clients move toward clearer goals and more effective habits.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Chatone commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy along with Motivational Interviewing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect emotions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in manageable steps to reduce their ongoing impact. Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal motivation to make changes, which can be useful for addictions and behavior change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques to see what fits. Together you decide which methods feel helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible access to these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That variety lets people use the format that best suits their schedule and comfort. The online options make it easier to keep work on skills between sessions and to reach a licensed professional from wherever you are.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
