About Kay
Kay Plasterer-Chu is an LMHC licensed in Indiana with 25 years of professional experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Kay invites straightforward conversations about current problems and daily struggles.
She focuses on practical work in sessions. That can include looking at how thoughts and behaviors affect stress and anxiety. She pays attention to relationship patterns and communication difficulties. Sessions also address grief, sleep problems, substance use, and major life transitions.
Kay uses a mix of approaches to suit different concerns. That includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take workable steps, Client-Centered Therapy to center the person’s experience, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relationship and attachment matters. She also draws on Jungian ideas and Motivational Interviewing when those fit the goals.
Her style is direct and focused on what people want to change. She works with concrete goals like reducing avoidance, improving communication, or managing mood swings. Practical skills and short-term strategies are often part of sessions, alongside deeper reflection when needed.
Kay works with issues such as parenting strain, codependency, body image, caregiver stress, and family of origin problems. She also supports people coping with abandonment, commitment struggles, eating concerns, and aging-related issues.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters and take small, workable steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and uses listening and reflection to clarify feelings and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at attachment and interaction patterns, which often helps when relationship stress or communication problems are central. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize skills, deeper emotional work, or motivational strategies. Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people join from quieter surroundings or use less bandwidth options if needed. Ask about the exact session options when you schedule so you know how appointments will be arranged.Areas of expertise
