About Chayah

Dr. Chayah Stoneberg is a psychotherapist and educator based in Columbia, South Carolina. She holds the LISW-CP credential, and she brings five years of clinical experience to her practice. Stoneberg combines her background in literature and the arts with mental health care to help people find language for hard feelings and moments of change.

She draws on humanities practices like poetry, visual arts, and expressive movement to help people process grief and loss. These creative practices are used alongside talk-based methods to address anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress. The aim is to translate emotional experience into manageable steps and concrete actions.

Stoneberg also works with people facing relationship and intimacy challenges, career concerns, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She incorporates approaches that help with mood shifts and coping during life transitions. Sessions are described simply: making sense of what’s happening, trying small changes, and reflecting on what works.

Her background includes directing arts programming focused on bereavement and teaching in higher education. That mix of clinical and humanities experience shapes a reflective, arts-informed style of care. Clients can expect a therapeutic space that values creativity, story, and practical coping tools.

Stoneberg offers services from South Carolina and accepts international clients. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking by using the Start Therapy process on the site.

How creative approaches meet online therapy

Dr. Stoneberg blends arts-informed practices with evidence-based talk methods to support emotional processing and practical change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts, choose values-based actions, and tolerate difficult feelings without getting stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns in thinking and behavior and trying small experiments to shift unhelpful habits.

Alongside those approaches she uses humanities-based techniques such as poetry and visual arts to give feelings a tangible form. These creative practices can help with grief, meaning-making, and intense emotions that are hard to name. Together, these methods offer both immediate coping tools and longer-term ways to approach life changes.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify what feels most useful based on goals, concerns, and personal preference. Clients and the therapist can adjust methods over time as needs evolve.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a work break. It also allows continuing care for people who live outside the clinician's immediate area.
