About LaChelle
LaChelle Barnett is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing issues like addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and anger. She describes a direct communication style and uses accountability and practical steps to help people move forward.
She holds a bachelor's degree in sociology from the University of Dayton and a Master of Social Work from Indiana University. She is also near completion of a doctorate degree.

Her clinical background includes training in a number of evidence-informed methods. She tends to take a straightforward approach that mixes skills practice with coaching and clear expectations. Sessions often include goal-setting, checking progress, and assigning concrete strategies to try between meetings.
LaChelle says she appreciates clients who are ready to make changes but feel stuck or overwhelmed. She also uses humor and a direct manner when appropriate. That combination aims to keep conversations focused and practical while still addressing deeper issues such as trauma and addictive patterns.
Her typical workdays are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's booking flow.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing value-driven actions. It can help with persistent anger, avoidance, and motivation to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into manageable steps. It is useful for anxiety, depression, workplace frustration, and learning new responses to anger triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit the client's goals and daily life. That means adjusting techniques and homework based on what actually helps the person make steady progress.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins between appointments. Phone or video options can be selected based on practical needs like bandwidth, camera preference, or fitting a session into a work break.
