About Carmen Chaney

Carmen Chaney is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP), a Nebraska license for independent mental health practice, with 17 years of experience providing therapy. She works with people navigating anxiety, trauma, mood-related concerns, complex family dynamics, relationship and interpersonal challenges, and emotions that can feel difficult to manage.

Her counseling style is eclectic and direct, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Carmen focuses on the person rather than stigmatizing labels, and she aims to create a space where clients can talk openly about what is happening and what they want to change. Her work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-based approaches, and she tailors the conversation and treatment plan to fit each client’s unique needs and goals.

She recognizes that reaching out for support can take real courage, especially when life feels overwhelming or when someone is ready for a more fulfilling direction. Carmen is there to support and empower clients as they take meaningful steps forward. She shares that due to dyslexia, she is not able to offer live chat sessions. She is comfortable communicating via messaging and prefers working through live phone and live video sessions.

Evidence-based approaches, delivered online with flexibility

Carmen Chaney integrates structured, skills-based therapy approaches that can translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits, then practicing more workable alternatives. It is often used when stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions start to affect routines, relationships, or self-esteem.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for navigating intense emotions, improving communication, and building steadier coping strategies. It can be especially helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationship conflicts and mood swings make it hard to stay grounded. Mindfulness Therapy adds tools for noticing what is happening in the moment with less reactivity, supporting steadier choices during challenging situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Carmen works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped in the past, and choose strategies that fit their needs and preferences, adjusting as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy also makes it easier to get consistent support with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can help clients fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel barriers, and stay connected between sessions when needed.
