About Chante
Chante Cross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with ten years of post-master's experience. She focuses on common life struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and career concerns. Chante aims to help people find practical steps forward and build confidence one conversation at a time.
She starts from the view that each person knows their story best. That means sessions are collaborative and centered on the client’s goals.
Background and approach
Chante uses straightforward tools to identify patterns and create new habits that feel doable in daily life. Her clinical toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Somatic Therapy. She blends these approaches to match what a person needs, teaching skills for managing thoughts, shifting behavior, and noticing how the body holds stress.
Chante also addresses relationship and identity concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, and work-related burnout. Additional areas she attends to include attachment, blended family dynamics, body image, and care-giver strain. Sessions aim to be practical and empowering.
Clients can expect clear techniques, gentle challenge, and a focus on what changes will make life easier. The work moves at a person’s pace while focusing on measurable steps forward. Chante welcomes people who are ready to try new coping skills and who want focused support through life transitions.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration and building skills that fit everyday routines.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Chante commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build concrete new habits. CBT involves identifying thought patterns and practicing different responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical steps and what’s already working, making it useful for people who want fast, goal-driven progress.She also draws on Somatic Therapy to help clients notice how emotions show up in the body and to learn simple body-based techniques for calming and grounding. Together, these methods offer ways to think differently, act differently, and feel differently in everyday situations.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods over time based on what helps most. Clients and therapist work as a team to try techniques and decide what to keep.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving, and allow follow-up between meetings when needed. The format supports steady progress while accommodating busy schedules.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
