About Chayah
Dr. Chayah Stoneberg is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) who practices online from South Carolina. She brings five years of clinical experience and a background in literature and the arts to therapy.
Her work often blends talk therapy with creative practices. Stoneberg draws on writing, poetry, and visual art to help people process grief, loss, and strong emotions. She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and stress.
How Chayah works
Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, with room for creative expression when it feels helpful. Her background includes directing arts programming for grief and bereavement at a palliative arts organization. That role shaped how she helps people name and hold painful experiences without being overwhelmed by them.
She has also taught humanities and writing at the college level. In the therapy room she focuses on clear goals and small, manageable steps. She helps people build skills for sleep, anger, communication, and self-esteem.
She also supports those dealing with career change, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and identity-related concerns. Stoneberg offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Online support options
How creative approaches meet online therapy
Dr. Stoneberg draws on evidence-based methods alongside humanities-based techniques. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression. Art-based practices use writing, poetry, or visual expression to surface emotions that are hard to name and to process grief or loss.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to try techniques, see what fits, and adjust the plan based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions stay more skills-focused, creative, or a mix of both.
Online therapy with her includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual work when helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter, voice-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, and flexible communication between scheduled sessions. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into busy lives.
