About Chayah

Dr. Chayah Stoneberg is a psychotherapist, educator, and spoken word artist in Columbia, South Carolina, who brings a humanities-informed perspective to clinical care. She draws on a background in literature and palliative arts to support people working through grief, loss, and persistent emotional distress, blending creative expression with evidence-based practice to help clients make meaning of difficult experiences.

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP), Dr. Stoneberg maintains a private practice in Columbia and also offers services online. Her clinical work has focused on trauma, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and care for veterans. She integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Art Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into individualized treatment plans, adapting interventions to fit each person’s needs and goals.

Dr. Stoneberg has contributed to clinical programs such as Hopeful Counseling & Psychiatry and serves as the director of arts programming at Palliative Arts, where she specializes in humanities-based approaches to suffering and bereavement. In that role she uses poetry, visual art, and expressive movement to help people process strong emotions and transitions.

Her experience in higher education includes teaching and academic leadership; she served as an Assistant Professor of Humanities and Writing Center Director at Allen University from 2013 to 2017. Across her work, she blends clinical training, creative practice, and teaching to offer compassionate, thoughtful care.

Integrating expressive approaches with online therapy

Dr. Stoneberg frequently combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with creative practices. ACT helps people clarify their values and build practical skills for accepting difficult emotions while taking meaningful action; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Art Therapy appears in her work as a way to access feelings beyond words - using poetry, visual art, or movement to explore grief, loss, and persistent distress in a gentle, exploratory way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she draws on to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for managing mood and stress.



Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dr. Stoneberg works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and invites clients into shared decision making about treatment direction.



Online therapy with Dr. Stoneberg is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and access simpler for people with busy lives or limited local options. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent care across distance while accommodating different communication styles and practical needs.
