Faulconer Chapin LPC

My name is Chapin Faulconer, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor with 19 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. I maintain a private practice in Charlottesville, VA, where I offer both in-person and telemedicine therapy sessions. My approach to counseling is grounded in a collaborative and interactive style, drawing upon a diverse range of therapeutic methods to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs.

I understand that seeking therapy can be a significant step, and I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am committed to providing practical tools and insights to help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and develop effective strategies for addressing their concerns.

Treatment Approach

My therapeutic approach is deeply rooted in empathy, compassion, and collaboration. I believe that each individual possesses inherent strengths and resilience, and I aim to empower clients to tap into those inner resources. I employ a strengths-based perspective, focusing on building upon client's existing capabilities and assets as a foundation for growth and positive change.

I incorporate a variety of therapeutic modalities into my practice, drawing from evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and solution-focused therapy. This integrative approach allows me to tailor treatment to the specific needs and goals of each client. Whether working with individuals struggling with anxiety or depression, couples navigating relationship challenges, or families seeking to strengthen their connections, I strive to provide a personalized and collaborative therapeutic experience.

Certified Daring Way Facilitator

In addition to my clinical practice, I am also a Certified Daring Way Facilitator (CDWF) based on the groundbreaking research of Dr. Brene Brown. I am passionate about facilitating workshops and groups that explore themes of vulnerability, courage, shame resilience, and authenticity. The Daring Way methodology provides individuals with a framework for embracing their imperfections, cultivating deeper connections, and living more wholehearted lives.

Commitment to Client Well-being

My ultimate goal as a therapist is to empower clients to live their lives with greater authenticity, connection, and purpose. I believe that therapy is a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation, and I am dedicated to providing compassionate and skillful support throughout the therapeutic process.
