02 · In Chloe's own words

What Chloe says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

As a licensed therapist in Alabama, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges, with a particular focus on stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, and relationship dynamics. My approach centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore personal growth and healing.

I'm deeply committed to helping individuals develop stronger communication skills, work through interpersonal challenges, and address substance use concerns. My therapeutic practice emphasizes understanding each person's unique journey, offering personalized strategies that empower clients to build resilience and meaningful change.

Drawing from evidence-based practices, I support clients in addressing a range of emotional experiences, including struggles with forgiveness, sexuality, and personal identity. My goal is to walk alongside you with genuine empathy, respect, and professional guidance as you move toward greater emotional well-being and self-understanding.

03 · How Chloe works

The 2 approaches Chloe lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Chloe lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Chloe's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Chloe runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Chloe practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Chloe's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Chloe at this point.

2. Naming Chloe specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Chloe is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Chloe.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Chloe

Built from what Chloe actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Chloe's - Chloe has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Where every line on this page came from

Chloe's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 5 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Chloe. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
