About me

I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) and have been a therapist for over15 years. I specialize in working with folks with anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, family situations, interpersonal situations, and overwhelming emotions.


My counseling style is eclectic and direct. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, and mindfulness therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you on your journey.

I do want to share with you that I am dyslexic, and I have found that live chatting is not a way I can be really effective as a therapist. I am comfortable communicating via messaging, but unfortunately I am not able to offer live chat. I prefer to offer both live phone, and live video sessions.

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Carmen Chaney. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

It is not an exaggeration for me to say that Carmen saved my life. When I had finally hit rock-bottom from which I knew I could not get myself out of, I signed up for BetterHelp and luckily matched with Carmen. Carmen has supported me for 4 years through many phases of my life and my mental health journey, and she has done so with unwavering empathy and psychological expertise. She is well versed in various forms of therapy, and is very trauma-informed. She validates your experience and helps guide you through your grief cycles, empowering you with techniques, and pushed me with honest feedback where I needed it. You're in the best of hands if you're lucky enough to match with Carmen.

Carmen does an incredible job and I really enjoy the approach she uses. It's a different approach than any therapist I've ever worked with and it's very serious yet lighthearted. Carmen is definitely someone I would reccomend!
