Dr. Chayah Stoneberg, LISW-CP

Dr. Chayah Stoneberg is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) working from South Carolina. She combines clinical practice with a background in the humanities and the arts to help people navigate anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and grief. Her approach blends talk-based methods with creative practices drawn from literature, poetry, and visual arts.

Stoneberg practices online and has five years of professional experience in clinical and educational settings. She draws on work with palliative arts programs to help people process loss and difficult emotions in ways that fit their life and values. Sessions often include writing, art, or movement as tools for expression alongside conversation.

Her clinical focus includes mood concerns such as depression and bipolar issues, attention challenges like ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people coping with career strain, caregiving burdens, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness. Work can address attachment and abandonment concerns, communication difficulties, and patterns such as codependency and control issues.

Stoneberg uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical change. She describes therapies in everyday terms and helps people try exercises between sessions. Her background as an educator informs a clear, instructional style that aims to make therapy understandable and useful.

Clients who prefer a creative pathway into emotional work may find her blend of arts and psychotherapy accessible. For those wanting structure, she incorporates talk-based strategies like cognitive approaches to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

How creative approaches and evidence-based methods work online

Dr. Stoneberg combines arts-informed practices with evidence-based techniques. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that align with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

She also brings expressive arts into therapy, using poetry, writing, visual art, or movement to help people name and work through emotions that are hard to say. These creative methods can help with grief, intimacy concerns, and stress by offering new ways to process strong feelings.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Over the first sessions she will suggest specific techniques and adjust the plan as needs change.

If you want to pursue online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. The biography indicates she currently operates online, but exact options should be checked. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people use different expressive tools between sessions.
