I have had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Chaplin for almost two years now. I can’t say enough good things about this experience!! When there is something I need to work on in my own time she gives me information on breathing exercises and learning about boundaries. It’s been a very eye opening experience!!

Work with Me!

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Louisiana. My vast clinical experiences include depression, anxiety, grief, child loss, abandonment, relationship issues and challenges associated with life transitions. I have over 20 years of clinical experience in a variety of settings including mental health clinics and hospitals. I strive to meet clients "where they are" and help guide them to where they want to be. I strive to provide a warm, caring and non-judgmental approach with all my clients. I view therapy as a collaborative endeavor whereby the therapist and client work together to address concerns and find effective solutions to problems. I hope that when we talk, you feel safe, supported and empowered to make lasting changes. I look forward to working with you! I earned a Masters of Social Work (MSW) from Tulane University. I also hold a Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.

I have training in the following areas:

Abandonment Issues

Cognitive Behavioral therapy

Dialectical Behavior therapy

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I've been seeing Dr. Chalpin for 3-4 months now and she has been utterly amazing in helping me find myself again. I still have a considerable amount of work to do but the path has become much clearer after my sessions with Dr. Chalpin. She's helped me identify the root causes of my distress and offered me a forum to think deeply about them each week. She proactively checks in on me and lets me know she is thinking of me which truly means a lot. She demonstrates tremendous empathy and I look forward to every opportunity we have to chat. It's impossible to convey the depth of my gratitude to her.

I’ve had my share of therapy over the years. Without a doubt, she is by far the best therapist I have ever had. She helps me figure out things I can do to help myself. Nobody has ever done that for me before. Therapy has always been me just talking with almost no feedback, until BetterHelp. Gay cares, you can feel it. She’s amazing! I’m so thankful! I feel like I’m really helping myself this time, not just sitting around marinating in my own misery.
