About Chatone

Chatone Strickland is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas who focuses on helping people identify and remove obstacles that keep them from living in alignment with their values and goals.

Background and approach

With four years of clinical experience, she guides clients through practical strategies to evaluate thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs while teaching coping and problem-solving skills informed by cognitive behavioral principles and other evidence-informed methods. She approaches therapy from a strengths-based, empathetic stance, positioning herself as a guide while honoring the client as the expert in their own life.

Chatone works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family challenges, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and smoking or vaping cessation. Her aim is to help people clarify aspirations, address barriers, and develop actionable steps toward meaningful change.

Sessions emphasize collaboration, practical tools, and measurable strategies that fit each person’s needs. Chatone communicates in English and accepts international clients, offering flexible online formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

Online Approaches for Practical Change



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more constructive patterns; it is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and skills-based coping. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person's own motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and building commitment, which can be especially useful for addictions or behavior change like smoking or vaping cessation. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events by teaching processing and regulation strategies to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and then tailors techniques so that treatment feels relevant and manageable. Clients are treated as partners in planning the path forward rather than passive recipients of advice.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy provides flexibility to fit sessions into busy lives and different time zones. These formats allow continuation of care across distances and make it easier to practice skills between sessions, attend regularly despite schedule constraints, and maintain momentum toward goals.
