About Chauncey
Chauncey Chatman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. He focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and codependency. His style is direct and practical, aimed at making small changes that add up to calmer days and clearer choices.
He uses conversation and mindfulness exercises to build self-awareness. Sessions often include behavior-focused work drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas so people can notice patterns and try different responses. He also brings emotionally focused methods when relationship repair and deeper connection are the goal.
Chauncey has about 15 years of experience in schools, hospitals, and community mental health settings in California. That background shaped his preference for teamwork and straightforward strategies that fit into busy lives. He currently works with individual adult clients.
In a first meeting he typically listens to what matters most, looks for patterns that keep problems going, and suggests simple practices to try between sessions. He pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and the effects of addiction on daily routines.
People often come for help with parenting stress, career worry, grief, sleep trouble, impulsivity, or difficulty saying no. He aims to help clients feel more in charge of their choices and more able to set boundaries that support wellbeing.
How therapeutic approaches work online and in sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. The therapist follows the client's pace and supports self-directed discovery, which helps when someone needs nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear, short exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can help with anxiety, mood, and patterns like codependency.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional experience and the patterns people fall into with partners or close others. It helps identify core emotions and reshape interactions that keep people stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods together and adjust as needed. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day and avoiding travel time so therapy is easier to keep up. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it simpler to coordinate scheduling and maintain momentum between sessions.
