About Chalice

Chalice Kopacki is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 15 years of experience. She has spent much of her career in healthcare, hospice, academic settings, and mental health, and has focused on counseling work for the past four years. She also works as a professor and academic advisor helping college students with career decisions and job-search skills.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She also works with concerns such as addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body-image concerns, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and dissociation.

Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions tend to emphasize understanding feelings, noticing interaction patterns, and trying practical skills between meetings.

In sessions she listens without judgment and concentrates on what each person is facing now. She can help clients name difficult emotions, practice new ways of responding, and set concrete steps toward coping. She also brings experience from hospice and healthcare where long-term illness and caregiving shape emotional needs.

Chalice offers services in English and accepts international clients. Practical next steps are to use the online options to complete the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session that fits the client’s needs.

How Chalice uses EFT and related approaches online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and the patterns those feelings create in relationships and daily life. EFT is often used when people want clearer emotional understanding and different ways of responding to difficult feelings.

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective and uses active listening to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Chalice treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. The plan can be adjusted as work progresses to better match what helps.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these strengths to help clients practice skills between meetings and keep progress moving forward.
