Chancey Fort is a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Professional School Counselor, a National Certified Counselor, and a trained Play Therapist. In plain terms, these credentials indicate she is qualified to provide clinical counseling, authorized to work in school settings, recognized at the national level for professional standards, and trained to use play-based methods with children.

Over the past 17 years she has worked in both school environments and community mental health settings, supporting children, adolescents, and adults through a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress and anger management, and relationship challenges. Her practice emphasizes an integrative approach, blending cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), reality therapy, strength-based strategies, and person-centered techniques to develop individualized plans that reflect each client's needs and goals.

Chancey focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and cultivate practical skills for change. By combining evidence-informed methods with attention to personal strengths, she helps clients build resilience, improve communication, and pursue meaningful progress. She partners with clients throughout the therapeutic process to tailor interventions and promote sustained wellbeing.

Approaches for Online Care and Personal Growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate them). This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and for those seeking greater purpose and resilience.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, empathetic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's lead. It supports self-exploration, self-acceptance, and stronger self-direction, making it helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem work, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve coping strategies). CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and mood-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Chancey works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time so the work aligns with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family, and other commitments, and allow therapists and clients to maintain momentum in treatment even when schedules or circumstances change.
