About Chatone
Chatone Strickland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and parenting concerns, and other life challenges. Sessions can also address substance-related issues such as smoking and vaping cessation, plus post-traumatic stress and trauma-related struggles.
She frames therapy as a practical partnership. The person in the chair is treated as the expert on their life while she helps identify barriers to change. That means looking at thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, and daily choices to find small, usable shifts.
In session she uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to teach coping skills and problem solving. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurts are keeping someone stuck. The focus is on clear strategies people can try between sessions.
Her style emphasizes straightforward skill-building - learning ways to manage strong feelings, reduce reactivity, and handle relationship strain. She helps people set concrete goals and track progress rather than relying on vague promises.
Clients who come with work stress, recurring anger, grief, or the pull of addiction will find sessions that aim for real-world steps. The approach supports people through career shifts, changes in family roles, and managing symptoms related to bipolar disorder or ADHD.
To begin, she asks people to name a few practical goals. From there she helps break those goals into manageable actions and checks in on what’s working and what needs adjustment.
How sessions work
How her approaches fit into online sessions
Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on recognizing how past events affect current reactions. It often involves naming memories, learning grounding techniques, and building tolerance for difficult feelings so that trauma no longer dictates daily choices. This approach can help when past harms are linked to anger or persistent stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches skills like spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and replacing them with clearer options. CBT is useful for managing workplace frustration, repetitive anger, or depressive thinking.
She will work with each person to choose which approach fits best. That choice is collaborative and based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they check what strategies help and adjust the plan as needed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins during a workday break, avoiding travel time, or keeping therapy on the calendar during a move. Ask about the specific session options offered so you can pick what fits your schedule and circumstances.
