Hello, my name is Chloe and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My purpose is to help you identify and work towards the goals and expectations that you have for your life. This looks different for every person, whether that be developing/strengthening coping skills, exploring emotions, reframing thoughts or developing actionable steps towards your goals – we can figure it out. I believe that each client is the expert in their care, I am here to guide you and provide support. My approach is cognitive behavioral, humanistic and psychodynamic.
A little bit about me, I have completed an Interprofessional Fellowship with the Veterans Health Administration, specializing in providing both individual and group therapy. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I am also certified in Social Skills training. I specialize in working with individuals who live with situational anxieties, depression and stress; as well as chronic and persistent mental illnesses, ranging from psychosis to mood disorders. I have worked with individuals ages 12 – 75 from many different backgrounds and life experiences.
It can be difficult to ask for help; I am glad you are here. I want you to feel and be at your best. I hope to work with you. If you have any questions, feel free to message me.
Take Care,
Chloe

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Chloe has been such a great help to me. She makes you feel heard and is great at giving you the tools and resources you need to work on the areas you want to work on. I always feel a hundred times better after a session with her!
Chloe is amazing. I have never met a therapist on my journey so far who I have instantly clicked with. She’s kind and so very sweet.
This is my first experience with therapy. Chloe has been great! This experience is making me wonder why I didn’t get into it sooner. And we only just started…
Chloe is fantastic. She really listens to what I’m saying and helps to put my thoughts and emotions into perspective. Highly recommend her.
Chloe is a great counselor. She listens to what I needs and provides exercises for me that are extremely helpful. She helps me to look at things differently than I normally would and I’ve already feel like I’ve grown a lot working with her
From the moment I first spoke with Chloe I knew it was a great match. I felt comfortable immediately. She has such a calming energy and open personality. I appreciate her patience and the way she talks/listens. My first impression was that she seemed like such a genuine person, and I still feel that way. Wonderful experience so far. Thanks Chloe, you’re awesome!
Chloé and I have only talked once, but she is extremely patient and very kind. She has made me feel comfortable and I was able to open up pretty quickly with her — I’m really looking forward to our continued progress and future sessions.
