About Carmen

Carmen Chaney is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with 17 years of clinical experience. She offers straightforward care for people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or intense emotions. Carmen also helps clients navigate relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns, and work or career stress.

Her style is direct and practical. Carmen blends cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness approaches to build clear, manageable steps.

Background and approach

She skips jargon and focuses on what someone can try between sessions to feel steadier. Carmen tailors conversations and goals to each person. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion.

Sessions aim to teach skills for emotion regulation, clearer communication, and problem solving that fit daily life. She prefers live video and phone sessions and is comfortable using messaging when needed, though she does not offer live chat. Carmen notes that being dyslexic shaped her communication choices and informs how she structures sessions and follow-up notes.

Carmen works with a wide range of concerns including stress, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, ADHD, relationship problems, and compassion fatigue. Her approach centers on helping people find practical strategies, build resilience, and move toward more manageable routines and relationships.

Online support

Approach-focused online therapy that builds everyday skills

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on small acts that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety, life changes, and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful cycles, making it useful for depression, anxiety, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and stronger interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carmen will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as needs change. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills you can use between meetings rather than one-size-fits-all methods.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Carmen provides live video and phone sessions for full conversations, and she uses messaging for follow-up or brief check-ins when helpful. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports written summaries and quick questions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
