About Carmen Chaney

I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) and have been a therapist for over15 years. I specialize in working with folks with anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, family situations, interpersonal situations, and overwhelming emotions.

My counseling style is eclectic and direct. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, and mindfulness therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you on your journey.

I do want to share with you that I am dyslexic, and I have found that live chatting is not a way I can be really effective as a therapist. I am comfortable communicating via messaging, but unfortunately I am not able to offer live chat. I prefer to offer both live phone, and live video sessions.

I look forward to working with you!

“Carmen has been a fantastic therapist. She listens and lets me know where my part is in my situation and what parts are outside of my control. She has created a plan that works for me and how I like to engage with information. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to finally get some peace of mind.”

“It is not an exaggeration for me to say that Carmen saved my life. When I had finally hit rock-bottom from which I knew I could not get myself out of, I signed up for BetterHelp and luckily matched with Carmen. Carmen has supported me for 4 years through many phases of my life and my mental health journey, and she has done so with unwavering empathy and psychological expertise. She is well versed in various forms of therapy, and is very trauma-informed. She validates your experience and helps guide you through your grief cycles, empowering you with techniques, and pushed me with honest feedback where I needed it. You're in the best of hands if you're lucky enough to match with Carmen.”

“Carmen is awesome! She helps me see things from a different perspective which is incredibly helpful.”

“Carmen is wonderful. She offers a variety of solutions and strategies to manage my concerns. She’s easy to talk to, kind and empathetic.”

“Carmen is a wonderfully attentive and responsive therapist. She has helped me understand why I process things the way I do and how to help change that. She has helped me with getting more control over my thoughts and my feelings. She has been a great help in rebuilding my self-esteem.

“She is tentative to my daughter’s needs.”

“Carmen has been absolutely fantastic as a therapist, helping me feel comfortable doing therapy. She has given me handy tools and she checks in on me. I look forward to each session and I know I will leave with something good for the week. I am so grateful for Carmen as my therapist.”

“Carmen is a wonderful therapist! <br /> She takes the time to get to know you, and allows you to get to know her. She can read you like a book, which is something I, personally, appreciate greatly. But she never judges. <br /> Her kindness and care radiates through the screen. She has already given me so many tools to work with and she is always the one to basically say “if this tool doesn’t work, we’ll move on to the next.”<br /> She makes you feel seen and heard, and that is something we all need.”

“Carmen is an excellent therapist. She has helped me find myself again. I am honored to be her client”
