About Chatone
Chatone Strickland is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with four years of practice. She focuses on helping people get clearer about what they want and take practical steps toward those goals. Her approach centers on straightforward work rather than jargon.
She meets people where they are and helps them move forward at a steady pace. Chatone frames therapy as a partnership. She asks about goals, then looks at the thoughts, beliefs, and habits that get in the way.
Background and approach
Sessions include learning coping skills, practicing new ways of handling problems, and planning small changes that stack up over time. She uses tools that target worry, low mood, and stress while also addressing relationship concerns and addictive behaviors. She has experience supporting people through trauma, grief, life changes, and issues with anger and intimacy.
She also works on practical goals like smoking and vaping cessation and career concerns. Her interest in trauma includes addressing post-traumatic stress in ways that help restore daily functioning. Chatone blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor work to each person.
She aims for clear steps people can practice between sessions. The emphasis is on skills, problem solving, and small experiments that build confidence. Sessions are available in English and she accepts international clients.
Chatone offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How online approaches shape practical change
Chatone commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT focuses on simple, structured exercises and practical homework that reduce anxiety and low mood over time.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about goals like quitting smoking or changing a habit. It centers on listening and building motivation rather than pushing advice.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and any concerns, then recommend methods to try. Plans can be adjusted as work proceeds so the approach fits the person and the problem.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer discussion or visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a quick way to check in when a longer call won’t fit. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short updates, brief coaching between sessions, or for people who prefer typing to speaking. These options offer flexibility while keeping the focus on clear steps and skill practice.
