Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - goals are set together and progress is checked along the way. Her background includes roles as a mental health therapist, school counselor, child welfare supervisor, and crisis screener. That range of experience informs how she approaches mood disorders, trauma, and coping with life changes.
She also supports people struggling with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and career questions. Chiralaine often blends talk-based strategies with mindfulness and practical exercises. She emphasizes pacing work to match each person’s needs and encourages active homework between visits.
The aim is steady, measurable movement toward the goals people bring to therapy. Sessions are offered in English and available to clients in Illinois and internationally through online formats. Clients choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s routine.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where avoidance has become a problem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and mood disorders because it breaks problems into manageable steps.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns of closeness and trust. It can help with intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, and repeating relationship struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with the client to choose or combine methods that match the person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration includes checking in and adjusting strategies as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen - video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone for lower bandwidth, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, keep momentum between meetings, and choose a format that feels most comfortable for each person.
