About D'schelle

D'schelle Chatman-Singh is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who centers Mindfulness Therapy in her work. She focuses on helping people navigate big changes, manage mood and stress, and build stronger self-esteem. Her style is practical and grounded, aimed at everyday problems that can feel overwhelming.

She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, and compassion fatigue. Career strain, financial stress, and trouble with intimacy are also common topics she addresses. She pays attention to how discrimination and multicultural stress shape a person's experience and choices.

In sessions she listens for the individual story behind a problem and helps people find actions that match their values. She uses mindfulness alongside other approaches to help people step back from difficult thoughts and make different choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are woven into this practical framework.

Her practice emphasizes improving communication and coping skills. That includes working on sleep problems, anger, addictions, and relationship patterns that interfere with daily life. She also supports people dealing with first responder stress, immigration-related challenges, and blended family issues.

D'schelle brings seven years of clinical experience in California. She aims to create an affirming space where clients can explore identity, self-love, and resilience while building clear tools to manage day-to-day demands.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It can reduce reactivity and create space to choose helpful actions when stress, anxiety, or grief feel intense.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values. It is useful for coping with mood challenges, loss, and life transitions by combining acceptance with committed action.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and supports growth at the person's own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. D'schelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made or new challenges appear.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help them maintain consistency while they try new coping strategies in everyday life.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
