About Chalice
Chalice Kopacki is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 15 years of practical experience. She focuses on counseling adults and brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions. Chalice values listening, encouragement, and steady support for people facing hard moments.

Background and approach
Chalice uses straightforward, people-first methods in therapy. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help clients notice and shift key emotions in relationships. She also uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people change patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life.
Her work covers many concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, burnout, and body image. She also addresses less commonly discussed issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and dissociation. Chalice aims to meet clients where they are and move at a pace that feels right.
She listens first, helps set clear goals, and uses practical steps to build coping skills and stronger emotional awareness. If someone wants steady support and practical tools, she will walk alongside them through change.

Online support
How Chalice uses emotional and practical approaches online
Chalice blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered work and cognitive behavioral tools to address feelings and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify important emotions and how those feelings shape close relationships and reactions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and building trust so a person can find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and introduces small, practical changes to improve daily functioning.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Chalice will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try different strategies, and adjust what she does based on what is most helpful. The emphasis is on matching methods to the individual rather than applying a single technique to every situation.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, quicker encouragement, or when typing fits someone’s schedule. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and stay consistent with their work.
