About Chayah

Dr. Chayah Stoneberg combines clinical training and a humanities background to guide people through stress, grief, and complex emotional challenges.

Background and approach

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) practicing from South Carolina, she draws on five years of professional experience and blends literature, spoken word, and palliative arts with psychotherapy to help clients name and move through painful feelings.

Her work attends to a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Stoneberg brings classroom and program leadership experience to her clinical work, having taught in higher education and directed arts programming focused on bereavement and loss.

She uses expressive practices such as poetry, visual arts, and movement alongside evidence-based techniques to support processing of grief, coping with life changes, and managing mood and stress. Her approach emphasizes creativity, practical coping skills, and collaboration to address goals related to career, parenting, sleep, and broader life transitions.

Integrating expressive approaches with online care

Stoneberg draws from both creative and evidence-based methods to tailor online sessions to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and reconnect with their values, offering tools to tolerate distress while taking meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety or depression and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns.

She also incorporates palliative arts practices such as poetry and visual expression to help process grief, loss, and layered emotional pain; these approaches create new ways to name feelings and reflect on experience. Finding the best mix of techniques is approached collaboratively - the therapist and client explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods over time to determine what fits best.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to engage consistently from different locations and to choose the communication style that supports ongoing work on stress, ADHD-related concerns, mood, and life transitions.
