About Chloe
Chloe Smith-Ferguson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and the effects of trauma. She supports people coping with life changes, parenting challenges, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, grief, and relationship or family difficulties. Chloe aims to help clients find practical steps they can use day to day.
Chloe focuses on building coping skills, looking at thoughts that get in the way, and creating small, doable plans toward goals.
Background and approach
She sees clients as the experts on their lives and offers guidance and support rather than one-size-fits-all solutions. Sessions often include talking through feelings, practicing new skills, and trying different ways to handle stressful moments. Her background includes an interprofessional fellowship with the Veterans Health Administration, where she provided individual and group therapy.
Chloe has eight years of experience in clinical social work and holds an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential. This experience has given her familiarity with a wide range of mood and behavioral concerns. In therapy she draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
Those methods are used to teach practical skills like emotion regulation, thought reframing, and values-based action. Chloe adapts techniques to each person’s goals and pace. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs and schedules.
People who prefer to begin online can complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment to see if her style feels like a good match.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Chloe commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as part of her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting patterns in thoughts and behaviors and testing new responses to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward a more meaningful life, even when difficult feelings are present.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chloe will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up day to day. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit different lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, while phone sessions work well when a quieter spot or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat or text can be used for short check-ins, mood tracking, or quick coaching between longer sessions. These options let people schedule care around work, family, and travel without needing to be in a specific location.
