Chey Davis , LMSW

Chey Davis is a Michigan-based Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with three years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges related to LGBTQ+ identity and intimacy. She works with individuals navigating life transitions and offers focused support around attachment concerns, gender dysphoria, sexuality, kink and BDSM, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and workplace or cultural stressors.

Her approach centers on building an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. As an LMSW - a license that reflects advanced graduate social work training and supervised clinical practice - she blends evidence-informed techniques with attention to each personâs lived experience and identity. That emphasis helps clients develop coping skills, clarify values, and address relationship or identity questions in practical ways.

Chey acknowledges that beginning therapy often takes courage and views the decision to seek help as an important first step. She aims to collaborate with clients to set goals and tailor support to their needs, drawing on clinical experience to address intimacy-related concerns, stress management, and the unique pressures that arise from discrimination or shifting life circumstances.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Chey draws on evidence-informed therapeutic techniques tailored to the concerns named by each client. One focus is attachment-informed work, which explores patterns in relationships and helps people understand how early and current bonds shape intimacy, trust, and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for clients working on relationship issues or attachment-related distress.

She also uses skills-focused, evidence-informed interventions to address stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. These strategies emphasize practical tools and coping skills that clients can apply between sessions to manage symptoms and navigate life transitions. In addition, Chey offers an affirmative, sex-positive stance when working with gender and sexuality matters, including kink, BDSM, and non-monogamous relationships, attending to cultural and identity-related factors.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Chey partners with clients to identify goals, assess what works, and adapt techniques to meet individual needs and preferences. Online therapy modalities - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it possible to connect from different locations and on flexible schedules, supporting continuity of care and easier access to regular sessions when life gets busy.
