I have had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Chaplin for almost two years now. I can’t say enough good things about this experience!! When there is something I need to work on in my own time she gives me information on breathing exercises and learning about boundaries. It’s been a very eye opening experience!!

Work with Me!
Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Louisiana. My vast clinical experiences include depression, anxiety, grief, child loss, abandonment, relationship issues and challenges associated with life transitions. I have over 20 years of clinical experience in a variety of settings including mental health clinics and hospitals. I strive to meet clients "where they are" and help guide them to where they want to be. I strive to provide a warm, caring and non-judgmental approach with all my clients. I view therapy as a collaborative endeavor whereby the therapist and client work together to address concerns and find effective solutions to problems. I hope that when we talk, you feel safe, supported and empowered to make lasting changes. I look forward to working with you! I earned a Masters of Social Work (MSW) from Tulane University. I also hold a Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
I have training in the following areas:
Abandonment Issues
Cognitive Behavioral therapy
Dialectical Behavior therapy
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
Mindfulness for Self Compassion

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I've been seeing Dr. Chalpin for 3-4 months now and she has been utterly amazing in helping me find myself again. I still have a considerable amount of work to do but the path has become much clearer after my sessions with Dr. Chalpin. She's helped me identify the root causes of my distress and offered me a forum to think deeply about them each week. She proactively checks in on me and lets me know she is thinking of me which truly means a lot. She demonstrates tremendous empathy and I look forward to every opportunity we have to chat. It's impossible to convey the depth of my gratitude to her.
I can’t say enough great things about Better help!! My therapist is amazing!! I trust her and I know she genuinely cares about me. She writes to me to make sure I’m doing okay. The journal feature is great for me. Any time i have a feeling i can write my thoughts down. I love Better help!! I’m so thankful I got placed with my therapist, she’s the best I’ve ever had!! She always has helpful techniques and advice to help me cope. TEN STARS!!!
The best of the best, she’s always there when I need her.
She’s amazing! 10/10
This has been hands down the best therapy I have ever received! I feel so much better after every session! Dr. Chaplin cares about every up and every down. She checks in with me over messenger to make sure I’m doing okay. When I want to work on something specific she always has resources to help me! I am so thankful for her!! She’s impacted my life for the better!! Thank you!!
I’ve had my share of therapy over the years. Without a doubt, she is by far the best therapist I have ever had. She helps me figure out things I can do to help myself. Nobody has ever done that for me before. Therapy has always been me just talking with almost no feedback, until BetterHelp. Gay cares, you can feel it. She’s amazing! I’m so thankful! I feel like I’m really helping myself this time, not just sitting around marinating in my own misery.
Been with Gay for a long time, very very happy with her and her empathetic approach to the support and guidance she delivers at a consistent and professional level.
She really makes it feel like I’m talking to a friend who won’t judge me on anything. I look forward to our talks every weeks. Even when Wrong in a situation she helps me see everything away from the emotions. I really appreciate all she does.
She’s amazing
She’s the best therapist I’ve ever had!!
Gay Chalpin is helping me work through some lifelong issues and some troubles that have come out of living during a pandemic. She is very warm and understanding. And, even when she was preparing to evacuate for a hurricane, we had a very engaging and helpful conversation.
