About Greta

Greta Chambless is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She talks plainly and offers steady support to people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about their next steps. Her approach aims to help clients find clearer direction and regain momentum in daily life.

Greta draws on client-centered methods to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about hard things. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical changes. Existential perspectives are part of her work too, especially when people are asking questions about meaning, purpose, or major life choices.

With 18 years of experience, she has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, postpartum depression, ADHD, and grief. She also addresses issues like sleep struggles, body image, isolation, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. Greta helps people set realistic goals and build small habits that fit into everyday life.

Sessions emphasize collaboration. Greta listens first, then offers tools that match each person’s needs. She often blends gentle questioning, thought-focused exercises, and values-based conversations so people can try different ways of coping.

Greta practices in Alabama and conducts sessions in English. People who are looking to start therapy are invited to use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, accepting space. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them name feelings and priorities. This approach can help people feel heard and clearer about what matters to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and everyday coping skills.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Greta will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She typically blends listening, thought-focused tools, and meaning-based conversations to match what a person needs at the time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and let people try techniques between sessions in their normal routines.
