Dr. Chayah Stoneberg , LISW-CP

Dr. Chayah Stoneberg is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) practicing from South Carolina. She brings five years of clinical work and a background in literature and the arts into her therapy work. Her style blends practical conversation with creative practices to help people facing emotional strain.

Stoneberg draws on humanities-based methods, including poetry, visual arts, and expressive movement, to help people process grief, loss, and intense feelings. She also incorporates evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, depression, and stress in everyday life. Sessions can include talking, reflective writing, or simple art exercises depending on what a person prefers.

She helps people manage relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, career uncertainty, and issues tied to self-esteem. She works with people coping with bipolar symptoms, ADHD, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. LGBT concerns, sleep problems, anger, and communication struggles are also areas she addresses.

Dr. Stoneberg has taught in higher education and led arts programming focused on bereavement and palliative care. That background informs how she combines clinical conversation with creative expression. Expect a collaborative pace where goals are set together and real-life steps are discussed.

Online sessions are part of her practice, offering video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging options. International clients who speak English may connect remotely. Therapy is arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Dr. Stoneberg blends evidence-based techniques with humanities-informed practices to support people facing grief, anxiety, and life transitions. One approach she uses is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. This can help with anxiety, stress, and decisions about meaningful change.

She also uses art-based practices such as poetry or simple visual arts to help people name and process difficult emotions. These methods can make feelings easier to talk about and can be especially helpful for grief, loss, and burnout. Cognitive strategies are used as well to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms of depression and worry.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Sessions can shift over time as needs change and progress is made.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for a full session with face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, reflective prompts, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions.
