About Greta

Greta Chambless brings a cognitive behavioral framework to her counseling practice while blending client-centered and existential perspectives to help people navigate difficult transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical strategies rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders, while also attending to deeper questions about meaning, identity, and life purpose. Greta introduces tools for coping with grief, ADHD, postpartum challenges, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns, tailoring interventions to each person’s situation.

With an LPC credential and 18 years of clinical experience in Alabama, she offers an empathic, nonjudgmental stance that invites collaboration and personal agency. Her work also includes focus areas such as eating and sleeping difficulties, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, aging and geriatric issues, autism spectrum concerns, and trauma-related difficulties.

Clients can expect a balanced approach that combines skill-building, exploration of values, and attention to everyday functioning as they work toward clearer goals and improved coping.

Using Evidence-Informed Approaches in Online Therapy

Greta draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach concrete coping skills that reduce symptoms of anxiety, panic, and depression. CBT focuses on the relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to produce measurable changes in daily functioning.

She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the client's perspective, offering empathetic listening and support to help people feel heard and understood as they explore goals and values. Existential therapy appears in sessions when questions about meaning, life purpose, and identity arise, encouraging reflection on choices and personal responsibility in ways that complement skills-based work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; she works with each person to determine which combination of strategies best aligns with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together the therapist and client evaluate progress and adapt methods over time to ensure the work remains relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making regular contact possible from different locations and schedules. These formats support consistent skill practice, timely check-ins, and convenient access to care for those balancing work, family, or other responsibilities.
