About Chloe

Chloe Richards is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Alabama with three years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addictions, grief, and questions about life purpose and sexuality.

She focuses on concrete skills people can use between sessions. Chloe uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to increase motivation for change. Sessions include talking through recent events, practicing new ways to respond, and setting small, achievable goals.

Chloe works with clients on communication problems and control issues that often come up during major life transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma and past abuse and those working through forgiveness or identity questions. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at reducing day-to-day distress and improving decision-making.

In addiction work she combines motivational techniques with behavior-focused strategies to support healthier choices around alcohol and drugs. For relationship concerns she helps people clarify needs and try different communication tactics. Chloe pays attention to how life changes affect mood, routines, and self-esteem, and she helps clients map out next steps.

People can expect straightforward conversation, practical exercises, and regular review of goals. Chloe asks about what matters most to each person and adjusts the work as goals evolve. To begin, clients use the site flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Chloe uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing online

Chloe frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing, a conversational approach that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change. This is useful when someone is unsure about steps related to addiction recovery, career shifts, or other life changes.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Chloe will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit the client's situation. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as progress and priorities change.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins on a break, or conversation without commuting. They also allow therapists to work with clients across different parts of Alabama when scheduling and location are a concern.
