About Chamika
Chamika Barrant is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York who centers sessions on the person in front of her. She uses straightforward talk, practical tools, and measurable goals to help people manage strong emotions and ongoing stress. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to help clients see how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect.
That combination is used to identify triggers and interrupt unhelpful cycles. Chamika also draws on Client-Centered methods to keep the work collaborative and grounded in each person’s priorities.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on everyday problems such as anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship strain, and anger. She also supports people facing life transitions, addiction concerns, identity and LGBT issues, and challenges tied to attachment or family dynamics. Chamika frames progress with S.M.A.R.T. goals so changes can be tracked and adjusted.
Expect clear steps, regular check-ins, and simple exercises to practice between meetings. The pacing is tailored to each person’s needs and rhythms. She has five years of clinical experience working with adults in New York and provides services in English.

How Chamika’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens carefully and follows each person’s pace, helping them name what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at specific thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to change patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or anger.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Chamika will talk with clients about their needs and goals and suggest methods to try. She adjusts the plan as progress is seen and welcomes client feedback about what feels helpful and what does not.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions let people meet face to face for longer work and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, written reflections, and ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical change and measurable goals.
