About D'schelle

D'schelle Chatman-Singh is a licensed marriage and family therapist who centers therapy on meaning and choice. She blends practical tools with thoughtful conversation to help people facing anxiety, depression, grief, or major life changes. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping clients regain a sense of direction and resilience.

She often draws on Existential therapy to look at values, purpose, and the everyday decisions that shape a life.

Background and approach

That perspective pairs with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to reduce unhelpful thoughts and build workable habits. Sessions include concrete strategies alongside reflective questions about what matters most to each person. D'schelle also uses Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches to support self-awareness and emotional regulation.

These methods are useful for people struggling with stress, low self-esteem, sleeping problems, or compassion fatigue. She pays attention to how culture, discrimination, and identity affect mental health. Her background includes seven years of clinical experience working with adults on career challenges, intimacy-related issues, family stress, and addiction concerns.

She’s practiced in California and uses that experience to guide practical problem-solving and personal growth work. People meet her for help with communication problems, financial stress, midlife transitions, and coping after disasters or trauma. In sessions she focuses on clear goals, small experiments, and steady progress toward better day-to-day functioning.

Online support

How existential and evidence-based approaches work online

Existential Therapy invites clients to reflect on values, meaning, and life choices to clarify what matters most and to guide change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values, often addressing anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. D'schelle will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they experiment with techniques and adjust the plan as progress is made, combining reflective work with practical exercises when that fits the client's needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing one another. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, brief coping skills, or times when a written exchange is preferable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use approaches that match how someone prefers to engage.
