About Chauncey
Chauncey Chatman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with 15 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, and mood challenges. Sessions are conversational and straightforward, with a focus on practical changes that fit daily life.
Chauncey blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques. He uses mindfulness exercises to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful habits.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to clarify what matters most and to build new ways of responding to stress and conflict. His background includes roles as a school counselor, case manager, and work on multidisciplinary mental health teams in hospital and clinic settings across California. That experience shapes a collaborative style and an eye for real-world problems like sleep disruption, impulsivity, and addiction-related concerns.
In sessions he often focuses on attachment and communication patterns, codependency, and fatherhood issues when these come up. He also addresses career stress, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions. People are asked to try brief practices between sessions to see what helps.
Chauncey provides therapy in English and works with international clients. He uses a mix of talk, practical skill-building, and mindfulness to help people manage emotions, improve relationships, and regain a sense of control.

Online support
Emotion-focused and practical work online
Chauncey uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people recognize and shift the emotional patterns that shape relationships and personal responses. EFT work focuses on the emotions behind reactions and helps create new ways of connecting to feelings and needs.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the session on the person's priorities and experiences, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce distress. These approaches help with anxiety, mood concerns, relationship problems, and problems with impulsivity or addiction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets the therapist and client observe nonverbal cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit a short check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical change.
