Chalice Kopacki, LMSW

Chalice Kopacki is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 15 years of experience. She has spent much of that time helping adults navigate stress, grief, and life changes. Her background includes roles in healthcare, hospice, academic settings, and mental health, and she now focuses mainly on counseling work.

Chalice aims to listen first and respond with practical support. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and helps people sort through immediate concerns. Parents and caregivers often contact her about burnout, caregiving stress, and balancing responsibilities.

Her approach draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to address anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support people making difficult changes. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on connection and intimacy-related issues.

Chalice has worked with people facing chronic illness, cancer, chronic pain, and the ripple effects that health challenges bring. She also helps with addiction, body image, eating-related struggles, and complicated grief. Her experience includes supporting those coping with trauma, dissociation, and attachment concerns.

As a professor and advisor, she brings practical career and life-skills help when needed. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Sessions use a cancelable subscription model.

How Chalice’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs. It helps clients feel heard and guides the work from their goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and shift patterns in close relationships by identifying feelings and attachment needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chalice will discuss what matters most to the client and suggest starting points based on needs and goals. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. Remote work can also make it simpler to schedule appointments around caregiving, medical appointments, or work. If you are managing a chronic illness, cancer, or caregiving duties, online sessions can be a practical way to keep continuity of care while balancing other demands.
