About Chauncey

Chauncey Chatman brings 15 years of therapeutic experience to adults seeking practical support for stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, relationship challenges, ADHD, and related life changes. He focuses on helping clients build self-awareness, manage difficult emotions, and develop skills that improve daily functioning and relationships.

Background and approach

Chauncey’s practice emphasizes collaborative work where client goals guide each step of the process. His clinical style blends client-centered principles with mindfulness practices and evidence-based tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.

That mix supports both insight and concrete behavior change, whether a person is coping with grief, mood difficulties, compulsive patterns, or intimacy and communication problems. Chauncey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California and offers therapy to clients in English, including those located internationally.

He draws on prior experience in school and clinical settings and on team-based care with psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and peer specialists to inform a practical, team-aware perspective on treatment planning.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to support self-exploration and personal growth. This approach helps people clarify values and priorities and can be particularly useful for addressing relationship concerns, identity questions, and motivation for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, impulsivity, and many forms of addictive behavior because it provides concrete tools for daily practice.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods may fit a client’s situation and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist work together to choose techniques that feel useful and manageable rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or manage care across locations. These formats let clients access licensed professionals from where they are, continue momentum between meetings with messaging options, and select the communication style that best supports their progress.
