Chey Davis, LMSW

Chey Davis is a Michigan-licensed social worker with three years of professional experience and the LMSW credential. LMSW stands for Licensed Master Social Worker, a master's-level social work license that authorizes practice and clinical work in Michigan. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, intimacy-related concerns, and LGBTQ-related issues, and she supports people navigating significant life changes.

Her practice includes work on attachment challenges, relationship structures such as polyamory and non-monogamy, gender dysphoria, and topics related to sexuality and alternative sex cultures including BDSM and kink. She also attends to workplace concerns, experiences of prejudice and discrimination, and issues specific to men and women as they relate to mental health and relationships.

Chey aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. She collaborates with clients to identify practical coping strategies and to develop clearer understanding of relationship and identity concerns. Chey recognizes that starting therapy can take courage and supports people as they take that first step toward change.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Access

Chey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques delivered in ways that fit each person's needs. One approach focuses on practical skills and coping strategies - teaching tools for managing stress, reducing anxiety, and navigating mood changes so daily functioning improves. Another approach centers on exploring identity, relationships, and intimacy - helping clients examine attachment patterns, relationship structures such as polyamory, and questions related to gender, sexuality, and kink in a thoughtful, informed way.

Determining the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Chey works together with clients to assess goals, preferences, and life circumstances, then tailors techniques and pace to what feels most helpful. This partnership helps ensure treatment aligns with each person's values and priorities.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access care without travel. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow work on issues between sessions, and can help clients maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
