Chalice Kopacki, LMSW

Chalice Kopacki is a licensed master social worker with 15 years of professional experience. She offers steady, nonjudgmental support and practical guidance for people facing major life stresses. Her work centers on listening, problem solving, and helping clients find manageable next steps.

Before focusing on counseling full time, Chalice worked across healthcare, hospice, academia, and mental health settings. She has also taught and advised college students on career choices and job-search skills. Those roles shaped her practical, solution-oriented style.

Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to each person. Chalice uses ideas from client-centered practice to follow the client's lead. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to address anxious or self-defeating thinking. Emotionally focused and mindfulness tools help with relationships and stress regulation.

Chalice helps people who are processing grief, navigating family or relationship challenges, coping with illness or chronic pain, and managing anxiety, depression, or substance concerns. She also supports those facing parenting strain, body image issues, work stress, and compassion fatigue.

Clients can expect clear communication about goals and practical homework when it fits the plan. Chalice aims to walk alongside people as they work toward more balance and resilience. She offers services from Michigan and works in English, including with international clients when arrangements allow.

How Chalice’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. It helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic listener and wants to set goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with strong emotions to improve closeness and communication in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chalice will collaborate with each person to choose tools that match their goals and preferences. She often mixes strategies, trying techniques and checking in to see what feels most helpful over time.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, or allow for a quicker check-in on a lunch break. It can also let people continue work with the same therapist when they move or travel internationally. Ask about formats and scheduling when you start so sessions fit your daily life.
