About Chiya

Chiya Glenn is a licensed mental health counselor who uses evidence-based techniques to address stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting concerns, and self-esteem. She practices in New York and brings five years of professional experience to her work. Chiya emphasizes each person’s strengths and believes clients know their own stories best.

She offers steady support for people taking the first steps toward change. Chiya focuses on practical, doable steps in sessions.

Background and approach

She listens first, then helps clients try new ways of coping with difficult emotions. For trauma and abuse she pays attention to safety and pacing. When grief or parenting challenges come up, she helps people name their feelings and find manageable strategies.

Her work also covers chronic pain, illness, and disability as well as feelings around guilt, shame, and forgiveness. She addresses issues of life purpose and building self-love through small, consistent changes. Social anxiety and phobias are approached with gradual skill-building and real-life practice.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what the client wants to change. Chiya encourages clients to try things between sessions and then review what worked. The goal is to build tools that feel useful in everyday life.

Chiya welcomes questions about the therapeutic process and supports each person as they decide what comes next. She helps people take steady steps toward a more satisfying and manageable life.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Chiya draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on real-world coping skills. One approach helps people learn step-by-step tools for managing anxiety and stress, using practice and repetition to reduce overwhelm. Another approach addresses trauma and grief through careful pacing, helping people process difficult memories and intense emotions at a tempo they can manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chiya collaborates with each person to figure out which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts methods over time based on what is effective and what the client prefers.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to pick the format that feels most comfortable. The online setting allows for consistent follow-up, practice between sessions, and accessible support from a licensed professional in New York.
