About Chatone
Chatone Strickland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. She focuses on helping people name their goals and remove what gets in the way of living the life they want. She frames the work as a collaboration where the person is the expert and the therapist acts as a guide.
Strickland uses clear, practical steps to look at thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, and actions. She teaches coping skills and problem-solving strategies that people can try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are part of her approach, and she also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are affecting daily life.
Her style is empathic and strengths based. Sessions aim to make change feel possible and manageable. She helps people break big goals into small, doable steps and addresses obstacles that keep them stuck.
Strickland works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, relationship issues, addiction, parenting strain, career questions, attention difficulties, bipolar symptoms, post-traumatic stress, and smoking or vaping cessation. She supports people through life transitions and helps rebuild confidence.
With four years of experience, she focuses on practical skills alongside reflective conversation. People who want a straightforward, goal-oriented process tend to find her approach helpful. She asks questions, listens closely, and helps plan next steps toward the changes a person wants.

How these approaches translate to online work
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. It relies on open questions, reflective listening, and guiding people toward their own reasons for change, which fits well into online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often includes practice tasks people can do between meetings. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing effects of past traumatic events while building safety and coping skills for daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether Motivational Interviewing, CBT, Trauma-Focused Therapy, or a mix makes the most sense. Goals, preferences, and the issues a person brings guide that decision, and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also make some types of check-ins or skill practice simpler to arrange. Confirm the available session formats before booking to be sure they match your needs, and discuss any questions about how sessions will be scheduled during the intake process. -
