Chiya Glenn, LMHC

Chiya Glenn is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings five years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and self-esteem struggles.

Chiya centers sessions on the client’s knowledge of their own life. She treats each person as the expert on their story and helps them use their strengths to address what feels overwhelming. Her approach is straightforward and encouraging, aimed at small, doable steps rather than quick fixes.

Many clients come to Chiya with long-term health concerns, chronic pain, or disability and want help balancing those realities with daily life. She also works with issues such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, questions about life purpose, and social anxiety. Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and practical ways to feel steadier day to day.

In sessions Chiya offers calm listening, clear reflection, and collaborative planning. She supports people through grieving, processing trauma, and managing anxious thoughts so they can make choices that fit their goals. Progress often looks like clearer priorities, more manageable routines, and improved confidence.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and coping strategies. For example, a skills-focused approach teaches practical tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, activity planning, and breaking down worries into manageable steps. These techniques help people feel steadier when daily pressures build.

Another common method emphasizes processing traumatic experiences at a pace the client controls. This kind of work helps reduce the grip of past events on current life and supports clearer thinking about next steps. It can be useful for post-traumatic stress, grief, and long-standing emotional pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying different tools, checking what helps, and adjusting plans based on what the client notices.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session formats before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit more easily into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic. Ask about available session types during the matching process so you can pick what fits your routine.
