About Chante
Chante Cross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 10 years of post-Master's degree experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, motivation, career worries, and life transitions. Chante also lists support for relationship, intimacy, grief, and trauma-related concerns.
Her approach starts from the idea that the client knows their story best. She aims to build on the strengths a person already has and to teach practical skills that make daily life more manageable. Sessions can include goal-focused conversations and concrete strategies for change.
Chante uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Somatic Therapy in her work. That combination lets her address thoughts and behaviors, set short-term goals, and attend to how the body holds stress. She draws on these methods to help clients try new ways of coping and to track what works.
She also incorporates motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify what they want and take steps toward those goals. This can be helpful for career decisions, breaking unhelpful patterns, or finding renewed direction after a life change.
Chante lists additional focus areas such as attachment and family of origin issues, body image, caregiving stress, codependency, and concerns related to kink and alternative sex culture. She offers work that centers tangible skill-building and straightforward planning for the next steps a person wants to take.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Chante commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what matters to them and build momentum toward change.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, concrete goals and Somatic Therapy to notice how stress shows up in the body. Together these approaches let clients practice small changes, track results, and adjust plans based on what helps.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and shifting if something isn’t helpful.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments work around study or work schedules. They also let people meet with a licensed professional from different locations, which can simplify scheduling across time zones.
