Chancey Fort , LPC

Chancey Fort is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of experience working in school settings and community mental health. As an LPC, she holds a professional counseling license that qualifies her to assess and treat a broad range of emotional and behavioral concerns. Over nearly two decades, she has worked with children, adolescents, and adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, stress and anger management, relationship difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

Her clinical style is integrative and client-focused, drawing on evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and person-centered practices to build treatment plans that reflect each client’s unique needs. This flexibility allows her to address both immediate symptoms and underlying patterns related to abandonment, attachment, communication struggles, control issues, impulsivity, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.

Chancey emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic atmosphere where people can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and work toward meaningful change. She collaborates with clients to develop individualized strategies aimed at fostering self-compassion, improving relationships, clarifying life purpose, and managing mood and trauma-related concerns. Her goal is to empower clients to move toward their highest potential and greater well-being.

Approaches and Online Care for Ongoing Growth

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify what matters most to them and to take action toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings that arise. It is useful for chronic stress, anxiety, and patterns of avoidance by helping clients build psychological flexibility. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and unconditional positive regard - the therapist provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space that helps clients explore identity, relationships, self-worth, and life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, mood swings, and anger through cognitive restructuring and behavior change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Chancey Fort works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods align with their goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals tailor techniques to fit individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between appointments, and fit therapy into daily life while still receiving consistent clinical support from a trained therapist.
