About Idaly

Idaly Chavez-Soto, LPC, helps people who are dealing with eating concerns and ADHD. She approaches work as a team effort, offering steady support in a warm and understanding way. Her style aims to make difficult topics feel manageable and understandable for parents and caregivers reading on a phone.

She has three years of clinical experience. In that time she has supported people with depression, anxiety, disordered eating, low self-esteem, and intergenerational trauma.

Background and approach

She also helps clients who are working on self-forgiveness and personal growth. Idaly uses practical strategies in sessions so people leave with concrete steps they can try between meetings. She draws from cognitive behavioral approaches to help change unhelpful thinking and from dialectical ideas to teach emotional regulation and coping skills.

She can include spiritually based practices when clients want to bring their beliefs into therapy. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. The therapist listens first, then works with the person to set clear, achievable goals.

Progress is tracked through follow-up and adjustments to what is working and what is not. Based in Texas, she offers services in English and is open to working with international clients. Her approach aims to be flexible so it fits a person’s life and strengths.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Idaly uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These techniques are often practical and aim to produce steps a person can try between sessions, which can be useful for eating concerns and ADHD-related routines.

She also uses dialectical-informed techniques to teach emotional regulation and coping skills. These methods focus on balancing acceptance of current feelings with building new ways to manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together so it fits each person’s needs and preferences. Clients and the therapist decide which tools to keep using and which to change over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls let work resemble an in-person session and support visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to make care more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
