Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are applied to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.

He also uses elements of the Gottman Method for couples work and motivational interviewing to support change around substance use or other habits.
His background includes roles as a school counselor, case manager, and work on multidisciplinary mental health teams in California hospitals and clinics. He holds a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Chapman University and is licensed in California as an LMFT. Sessions can address a wide range of concerns such as parenting strain, sleep problems, self-esteem, trauma, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

How Chauncey Uses Approaches Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of him, helping clients name what matters and set their own goals. In practice this means sessions that follow the client’s lead and build trust before introducing new skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going; online CBT sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking, trying alternative responses, and setting small homework tasks between meetings to test changes.The best approach is decided together. Chauncey treats the first few sessions as a collaboration to learn what feels useful. He will outline options, invite feedback, and adjust methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text-based messaging suits short updates or coaching between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
