About Chalice

Chalice Kopacki is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, family concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. Chalice also addresses addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and compassion fatigue. She works with adult clients and accepts international clients who speak English.

Chalice spent years in healthcare, hospice, academic settings, and mental health programs before concentrating on counseling full time over the past four years. She has experience helping college students with career planning, job searches, and interview skills while serving as a professor and academic advisor. That background informs a practical approach to everyday problems.

In sessions she uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit. She aims to listen, reflect, and help people identify small, workable steps they can try between sessions.

Chalice pays attention to how early family roles and patterns still show up in adult life. She helps people notice those patterns, name them, and choose different responses. Conversations may cover attachment issues, blended family dynamics, communication problems, and feelings related to abandonment or caregiving stress.

Her style is straightforward and practical. People can expect clear feedback, collaborative planning, and help building coping skills. To start, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Chalice combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in ways meant to be practical for everyday life. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to build small, concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, or stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy attends to emotional patterns and relationship moments, which can help people notice and change how they respond to family-of-origin dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chalice treats the question of method as collaborative. She will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most for your situation and preferences.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, having shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding travel time. Online work can also make it easier to continue care across locations, including for international clients. The practical aim is to make sessions fit daily life while using CBT, client-centered listening, and EFT techniques to address family patterns and coping skills.
