Dr. Chayah Stoneberg, LISW-CP

Dr. Chayah Stoneberg is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) based in South Carolina. She blends clinical practice with a background in literature and the arts to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other everyday struggles. Her work includes attention to thoughts and everyday habits as part of addressing emotional distress.

Stoneberg draws on both psychotherapy and humanities-based methods to help people process grief and loss. She offers practical ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and shift small daily routines. Sessions can include talking, creative exercises, or writing prompts when useful for the person in front of her.

Her resume includes roles in higher education and leadership in arts programming focused on palliative care. Those experiences inform how she frames conversations about meaning, aging, and serious illness. She has five years of clinical experience and holds the LISW-CP credential.

In the therapy room she aims for a direct and collaborative style. People can expect goal-focused work that also attends to feelings. Stoneberg helps people identify patterns in thinking and behavior, then tries new ways of responding to everyday challenges.

She also works with concerns around relationships, intimacy, parenting, ADHD, bipolar disorder, career stress, and compassion fatigue. International clients may be accommodated, and sessions are offered in English. To start, visitors use the platform's Start Therapy button and a short matching questionnaire to schedule.

Approaches that blend thinking work and creative practice

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety, avoidance, or meaning questions get in the way of daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habit change.

Stoneberg also brings arts-informed methods such as poetry, visual arts, or expressive movement into sessions when they help a person access or process strong emotions like grief.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also lets people try expressive exercises or writing prompts between meetings to reinforce changes in everyday habits.
