About Kay
Kay Plasterer-Chu is a licensed mental health counselor in Indiana with 25 years of experience. She offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and struggles with addiction. Kay aims to create a welcoming space where clients can speak honestly about difficult feelings.
She uses a Jungian perspective alongside client-centered methods to help people understand patterns in their life and emotions. That work often connects past experiences and family of origin issues to current struggles.
Background and approach
Kay also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy skills to help clients notice their values and strengthen emotional connection where it matters. Sessions are practical and plainspoken. Conversations focus on what is happening now, what matters to the person, and small steps that can help.
She works with concerns such as grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career changes, bipolar challenges, and coping with life transitions. Additional topics Kay addresses include abandonment fears, attachment issues, codependency, body image, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, eating and food-related issues, and forgiveness. She also offers coaching-style support for people aiming to make concrete changes.
Kay provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Kay blends Jungian Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered work to help people understand themselves and move toward meaningful change. Jungian Therapy looks at personal symbols, dreams, and life patterns to surface deeper themes that shape behavior and relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect a person's values. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and respect, giving people space to guide the pace and focus of sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kay collaborates with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try approaches, check what helps, and adjust the plan as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
