About Chatone
Chatone Strickland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with four years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and struggles like addiction and smoking or vaping cessation. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Strickland focuses on helping people name what matters to them and then notice what gets in the way. She guides clients to examine thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, and actions and to try different ways of responding. Practical skills for coping, problem solving, and managing strong feelings are part of the work.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to make a change but feel stuck. Trauma-Focused Therapy is available for those dealing with post-traumatic stress or abuse-related concerns.
Sessions tend to be structured and goal-oriented, with focus on small, doable steps between meetings. Strickland emphasizes building skills people can use in daily life, such as strategies for anger, mood shifts, and managing life transitions. She also supports career concerns and self-esteem work.
People who prefer clear steps, homework that practices skills, and measurable progress often find this style useful. To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online care
Strickland uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going, and then test new ways of thinking and acting. This approach is practical and often includes short exercises to try between sessions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel ambivalent about change. That method focuses on clarifying personal goals and strengthening the reasons someone wants to change. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past traumatic events are affecting daily functioning, with steps aimed at reducing the grip of those memories and improving coping.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences and adjust the plan as progress is observed.
