Dr. Chayah Stoneberg, LISW-CP

Dr. Chayah Stoneberg is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice with a private practice based in South Carolina. She brings together clinical work and the humanities to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and intimacy-related issues. Her style is direct and creative, and she often uses art, writing, and movement to help people name hard feelings and make small changes.

Stoneberg helps people process grief and life transitions using expressive practices. She draws on experience directing arts programming for palliative care and on classroom work as a humanities instructor. Those experiences inform how she talks with people about loss, identity, and chronic illness.

Her clinical background includes work with trauma and personality concerns, and she has experience supporting people with ADHD, bipolar concerns, and LGBT-related issues. Stoneberg lists a range of focuses from sleep and parenting to career stress and compassion fatigue, so sessions can address practical day-to-day struggles as well as deeper emotional patterns.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside creative methods such as poetry and visual arts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are part of her toolkit when helpful. Sessions are aimed at helping people set clear, workable goals and try new behaviors between meetings.

Stoneberg has about five years of clinical practice and works in an online format. She accepts English-speaking and international clients and operates from South Carolina. Before booking, confirm current session formats to match your needs and schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Stoneberg combines several practical methods to support people working through emotional challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, sleep, and mood problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-based action and learning to allow difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful goals, useful for stress, depression, and life changes.

She also integrates arts-based practices such as guided writing, poetry, and visual expression to help people process grief and complex emotions that are hard to say in plain words. These creative methods are used alongside talk-based techniques when they fit a person’s needs.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily life. Together they will try options and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

The profile notes she operates online, which can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days. Online sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let people attend from wherever works best for them. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking to ensure they fit your routine.
