Tiffany Chenery , LPC

Tiffany Chenery practices a client-centered approach that puts each person’s goals first. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and other methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Tiffany is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with eleven years of experience and works from Pennsylvania.

She focuses on concerns often tied to relationships and personal history, including trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and coping after big changes. Tiffany also addresses addiction, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and career-related stress. Her work includes related issues such as attachment, abandonment, foster care and adoption questions, and family problems.

In sessions she aims to be practical and direct. Conversations typically identify patterns that cause distress and test small changes that make daily life easier. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotional regulation when feelings feel overwhelming.

Tiffany also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck. Psychodynamic ideas help her and the client look at how past experiences shape current reactions. The result is a blend of short-term skills and longer-term reflection tailored to each person’s needs.

She works with teenagers and young adults, helping them build coping strategies and clearer goals. Tiffany encourages a calm pace and practical steps so progress feels manageable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy starts by listening to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around those goals. In practice this means the therapist checks in each visit about what felt useful and adjusts the plan to match current needs and priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying everyday thoughts and behaviors that make emotions worse. Online CBT sessions involve learning simple exercises, testing small behavior changes, and tracking progress between meetings to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. In remote sessions clients practice skills like grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation, then try them in daily life and share what worked or didn’t.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then try methods that fit. That plan can change as needs evolve and new priorities emerge.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer, interactive sessions and teaching skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for short updates, brief coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or busy schedules.
