About Chante
Chante Cross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 10 years of post-master's experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes, and also offers coaching for career and motivation concerns.
Her approach treats the person as the expert on their own story. She uses accessible techniques to help people notice how thoughts, body sensations, and behavior link together. Sessions focus on building practical skills and clearer ways of responding to everyday challenges.
Chante commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try out different responses. Solution-Focused methods are used to set small, concrete goals and track progress over time. Somatic work brings attention to bodily signals and simple grounding strategies to reduce overwhelm.
In session she aims to help people strengthen confidence, improve communication, and manage stress more effectively. She also addresses relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and caregiving strain. Additional topics she covers include body image, attachment concerns, blended family and family of origin issues.
People considering work on social anxiety or phobias can expect step-by-step planning, behavioral experiments, and attention to how the body reacts in social situations. Her style emphasizes clear skills, short-term goals when helpful, and ongoing adjustment based on what the client reports.
Chante offers services in English and is available to work with international clients. Prospective clients are invited to follow the site's process to view online therapy options and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Chante uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that increase anxiety and to practice different behaviors in everyday situations. CBT exercises online can include thought records, behavioral experiments, and stepwise exposure planning for social situations. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unsure; it focuses on clarifying personal values and building internal motivation to try new steps.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will discuss options with each person and shape the work around their goals, comfort level, and what they want to change. That discussion can include trying short experiments with different methods and adjusting based on what helps most.
Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. When offered, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Ask about formats during the initial scheduling step to match sessions to daily life and responsibilities.
