Chelette McClendon is a licensed clinical social worker with five years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her work focuses on practical steps people can use day to day to feel steadier and more in control.

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.

Chelette adapts the pace and focus so people can make real progress between sessions.

Clients come to her for a range of concerns. She supports people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and bipolar-related issues. She also helps with aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, isolation, end-of-life planning, and other life transitions.

Chelette explains ideas in plain language and keeps goals concrete. Expect conversations that center on your experience and practical tools you can try right away. She partners with people to set goals that fit their daily life.

How Chelette’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities and means the therapist follows the client’s lead while offering empathy and reflection. It helps when someone needs a listening space to sort feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that worsen stress or depression. It is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelette will talk with each person about their needs and goals and recommend methods that fit. Together they decide what to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, avoid travel time, and continue care during big life transitions. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or make sessions easier to attend when mobility or caregiving duties limit leaving home.
