About Chelette
Chelette McClendon is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She uses straightforward talk and a respectful, kind approach to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to hear what matters most to each person and to shape treatment around their goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thought patterns that keep problems active and to develop manageable steps to change them.
How Chelette works
Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons for change when motivation feels low. Sessions are collaborative and focused on clear goals. Conversations are tailored to what a person needs that week, whether that means building coping skills, working through loss, or addressing addiction and mood concerns.
The tone is practical and supportive rather than medical or lecturing. Chelette has five years of professional experience in social work and brings that background into each session. She also addresses a wide range of related issues such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
Her work includes attention to practical life areas like career stress, money concerns, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, and coping with bipolar symptoms. People who want clear steps and a supportive listener may find her style helpful.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of her. It helps when someone needs a trusted listener who follows their lead and supports the goals they set. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems and offers concrete skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on their goals, comfort level, and what works in early sessions. Adjustments are made over time so the plan fits real life and progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills that use visual examples. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, continuing momentum between sessions, or when writing feels more natural.
