Chalice Kopacki

Chalice Kopacki is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 15 years of experience in healthcare, hospice, academic, and mental health settings. She focuses on counseling adults and brings a straightforward, caring style to her work. She values practical support, steady encouragement, and a listening ear when life feels overwhelming.

Clients can expect short, direct sessions that aim to make time spent meaningful. Chalice draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot patterns in thoughts and behavior, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationships and attachment feel central to the struggle.

Chalice has spent years supporting people through grief, illness, caregiving strain, and major life transitions. She also helps people address stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and self-esteem issues. Her background includes work with college students around career choices and job search skills, which informs a practical approach to everyday problems.

In the room she aims to be non-judgmental and steady. She listens first, then offers tools that fit each person's goals and pace. Sessions emphasize clear steps clients can try between meetings, and follow-up on what helped or didn’t.

Chalice works from Michigan and offers services in English. She accepts international clients and asks people to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How her approaches translate to online work

Chalice commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's lead and creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where people can talk through what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develops straightforward skills to change them, which can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chalice treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts plans based on the client's goals, preferences, and how they respond. She checks in about what is or isn’t working and tailors tools to fit each person’s situation.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when that helps. It also can let someone continue care while living outside Michigan, since international clients are accepted. Talk with Chalice to pick an arrangement that suits scheduling and the kinds of exercises you want to try.
