About Chelette
Chelette McClendon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas who uses a warm, person-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on clear, practical conversations and works with each person to shape a plan that fits their life and goals.

With five years of professional experience, Chelette draws on several evidence-informed methods to guide sessions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a space where people feel heard and understood. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and try new behavioral experiments. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people want help boosting motivation for change.
Chelette also brings Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy into work when those approaches match a person’s needs. Narrative work can help people reframe difficult stories they tell about themselves. Solution-Focused techniques aim to locate small, practical steps that produce visible progress.
She supports people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, and financial stress around money and life transitions. Chelette adapts the pace and focus of sessions to each person, helping them set realistic goals and track progress.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place under Texas practice rules. To begin, a prospective client uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a listening, nonjudgmental space where the person guides the conversation and sets the pace. This approach helps when someone needs steady support while working through stress, grief, or low self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people practice specific changes to mood and behavior; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chelette will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense for their goals and daily life. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one method from the start.
The biography does not specify the exact online formats offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, cut travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when that is most helpful. They also let people use methods like CBT homework or narrative exercises between sessions to keep progress moving forward.
