About Chabreah
Chabreah Alston is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, LGBTQ issues, addictions, grief, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports clients dealing with career shifts, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Chabreah listens and collaborates to address immediate and longer-term needs.
Her work blends several therapeutic approaches to match what each person brings. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts without being led by them. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about closeness, trust, and patterns that started in early relationships. Client-centered methods keep sessions focused on each person’s experience and choices.
Chabreah also integrates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when those methods fit the goals at hand. She uses creative arts and drama-informed practices as additional ways to access feeling, meaning, and expression. These methods can be helpful for processing trauma, addressing dissociation, and working through body image, sexual concerns, or identity-related stress.
Her background includes work with people navigating abandonment, attachment wounds, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and codependency. Sessions aim to be practical and specific, with the therapist and client deciding together what to try next.
Sessions are conducted in English. Chabreah does not take international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Chabreah brings therapy online with approach and practicality
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action. It can help when guilt or shame feels overwhelming and people want ways to act in line with their values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns around closeness and trust, which can clarify why certain relationships trigger old shame or abandonment fears.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client look at goals, history, and what feels useful, then try methods that fit. That collaboration guides whether sessions use ACT skills, attachment-focused conversations, or client-centered exploration with creative elements.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and provide options for shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often help adapt exercises and practices so they work in a remote setting and in everyday life.
