Chante Cross

Chante Cross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with ten years of post-master's experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She also supports people facing relationship strain, career uncertainty, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and anger concerns.

Chante believes clients know their own stories and already carry strengths that matter. She uses straightforward, skills-based work to help people build confidence and find practical ways forward. Sessions aim to identify patterns, test new behaviors, and strengthen what already works.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Somatic Therapy. Those methods are used to notice unhelpful thoughts, set manageable goals, and address how stress shows up in the body. Motivational Interviewing is also part of her toolkit to support people who want to make lasting changes.

Chante describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set clear, realistic steps and tracks progress along the way. The tone in sessions is supportive and goal-oriented, with attention to both emotions and practical problem solving.

She works with individuals dealing with a wide range of concerns including compassion fatigue, attachment and family of origin issues, body image, codependency, and aging-related topics. People considering therapy are invited to start by sharing what matters most to them and what they hope to change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Chante uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of reacting. CBT often focuses on small, practical experiments that can be done between sessions to reduce anxiety or lift mood.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals. This approach looks for what is already working and builds on those steps to create momentum toward change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person's goals, preferences, and daily demands, then suggest which tools to try first. That decision is made collaboratively and can be adjusted over time based on what helps.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people choose online work because it can make scheduling easier and fit therapy into a busy week. Online sessions can allow for shorter check-ins, help maintain continuity while traveling, or reduce the time needed for appointments, depending on the format offered. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and solution-focused work to an online setting while focusing on practical steps that fit into everyday life.
