About Chalice
Chalice Kopacki is a licensed social worker with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on everyday stresses and bigger life shifts. Parents will find practical guidance alongside steady listening.
She began her career across healthcare, hospice, academic, and community mental health settings. For the last several years she has concentrated on counseling while also teaching as a professor and advising students on career planning. That mix gives her a broad perspective on life changes, illness, caregiving, and work concerns.
Background and approach
Chalice uses straightforward methods that focus on what people want to change. She draws from client-centered ideas to build trust, cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness to calm intense moments. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to make a shift.
Many parents come for help with anxiety, stress, blended family challenges, attachment worries, and balancing caregiving with other demands. She also supports people coping with grief, chronic illness, body image issues, addictions, and relationship problems. Chalice pays attention to how life events affect daily routines and relationships.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Chalice aims to offer clear steps, listening, and encouragement so clients can try new strategies between meetings. She approaches work without judgment and with steady support.
Chalice practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. She accepts international clients and works with a range of concerns tied to parenting, family life, and personal well-being.

How Chalice blends proven approaches for online parental support
Chalice uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and understanding each person's goals. This approach helps parents and adults feel heard and shapes a plan that reflects their values and daily routines.She also draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting and changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or parenting stress. That approach is practical for managing routines, sleep, and common family triggers. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on attachment and closeness, helping people name feelings and practice new ways of responding during conflicts or distancing moments.
Finding the right blend is a collaborative process. Chalice will work with clients to pick approaches that match their goals, personality, and pace. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and useful rather than rigidly following a single method.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing encouragement between fuller appointments.
