About Chalice
Chalice Kopacki is a licensed social worker (LMSW) with 15 years of professional experience who focuses on counseling adults while also having experience with children and families. She has worked across healthcare, hospice, academic, and mental health settings, and in recent years has concentrated primarily on therapeutic work.
Background and approach
As a professor and academic advisor she has helped college students with career planning, job searching, and interview preparation, bringing practical coaching skills into her clinical practice. Her approach emphasizes compassionate, nonjudgmental support and partnership with each person seeking help.
Chalice blends person-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques, including Internal Family Systems, cognitive-behavioral strategies, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness practices to address concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, and parenting challenges.
She also sees clients for a wide range of additional matters such as attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and dissociation. Chalice aims to provide steady encouragement and timely communication, offering clients practical coping skills along with empathy and validation as they work toward their goals.
Approach-Focused Online Therapy for Practical Change
Chalice draws from Internal Family Systems, client-centered methods, and cognitive-behavioral strategies to support clients in virtual settings. Internal Family Systems helps people understand and relate to the different parts of their inner experience, which can be useful for navigating trauma, dissociation, self-criticism, and complex emotions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and partnership so clients feel heard and guided rather than judged, making it helpful for grief, relationship concerns, and self-esteem work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, providing concrete tools for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to weigh options, try techniques, and adapt methods to best match the client's goals, preferences, and life circumstances rather than prescribing a single path up front.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. These formats allow for regular check-ins, skills practice, and ongoing support while making it easier to fit therapy into daily life and maintain continuity between sessions.
