About D'schelle
D'schelle Chatman-Singh is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) practicing in California with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on things like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, self-esteem, and relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with addiction, work and career strain, and major life changes.
She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions emphasize clear skills for coping, managing mood, and improving communication. D'schelle draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other approaches to help clients test new ways of thinking and acting.
Her work pays attention to cultural and systemic factors that shape everyday problems. She addresses issues such as prejudice and discrimination, immigration-related stress, multicultural concerns, and the impact of workplace dynamics or first responder roles. Money or financial worries and blended family or communication problems are also common topics.
In sessions she helps people build routines for better sleep, manage anger and compassion fatigue, and strengthen self-love and resilience after loss. The focus is on specific strategies people can try between sessions. D'schelle also uses mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to support present-focused coping.
People can expect a direct, practical approach that connects short-term skills with longer-term goals. She encourages straightforward goal setting and regular check-ins on progress. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the online therapy options.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
D'schelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on clear exercises, behavior experiments, and step-by-step change that suit goal-oriented concerns like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people accept difficult feelings while taking actions that reflect personal values. Client-Centered Therapy informs the way she listens and reflects, keeping the client's goals central and allowing them to guide the pace of work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. D'schelle will discuss what seems most useful based on a client's goals, daily life, and preferences, and then try methods together to see what fits. This is a collaborative decision made over the first few sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and use screen sharing for worksheets or thought logs. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where problems occur, which can make between-session exercises more practical.
