About Chamika
Chamika Barrant uses a client-centered approach to help people make clear, practical changes. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with five years of counseling experience. Chamika focuses on real problems that show up in day-to-day life.
She aims to make sessions straightforward and useful for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Chamika blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that change behavior.
Background and approach
She guides people to map their emotional cycles - what they experience, feel, do, and what follows. That makes triggers easier to spot and clearer to manage. She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change and solution-focused techniques to set short-term steps.
Chamika uses S.M.A.R.T. goals so progress can be tracked and measured. This keeps work concrete and shows movement over time. People come to her for stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, addictions, and help navigating life transitions.
Additional concerns she addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, commitment or control issues, communication problems, and personality-related struggles. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Chamika aims to collaborate with each person to build a plan that fits their life and goals.
How Chamika’s Approaches Work Online
Chamika uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and outcomes so clients can try practical experiments and track results. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase awareness of triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chamika collaborates with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and daily life. She will check in, adjust techniques, and set clear S.M.A.R.T. goals so progress is visible and feels useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit shorter breaks or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, or focused skill practice. These options make it easier to schedule consistent work and keep momentum between meetings.
