About Chabreah
Chabreah Alston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 10 years of clinical experience in Massachusetts. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, grief, and issues related to identity and intimacy. Chabreah also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, career strain, and problems with self-esteem and communication.
She uses a blend of practical approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, learning skills to manage intense feelings, and making everyday changes that reduce overwhelm. Chabreah draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods to guide the work.
Her background includes creative arts and drama-informed practices, which she weaves into talk-based therapy when helpful. That can mean using imagination, role work, or expressive techniques to access emotions and rehearse new ways of relating. Beyond techniques, she pays attention to identities and systems that shape stress and coping.
People who prefer a direct, collaborative style will find sessions that mix skills-building with time to process feelings. Chabreah aims to clarify what matters most and to help people try small changes between meetings. Over time those practical steps can shift how someone approaches social situations, relationships, and work.
She asks prospective clients to check the online therapy options and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions toward them while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck. It can help when anxiety or avoidance limits daily life.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. Those tools are often useful for people reacting strongly to social stress or relationship conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques and adjusting the focus as needs change.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed on this profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some methods translate well to remote sessions, such as skills coaching and values-based planning, while other techniques can be adapted to fit an online meeting. Ask about which formats are offered when you complete the matching questionnaire.
