Chante Cross, LPC

Chante Cross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with ten years of post-master's experience. She focuses on practical, everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and trouble with motivation. Her work also covers relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, parenting strain, career questions, and compassion fatigue.

Chante approaches sessions as a partnership. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions aim to teach clear skills and tools that people can use between meetings to manage mood, handle conflict, and make steady changes.

Her clinical methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Somatic Therapy. Chante uses these approaches to help people see how thoughts, behaviors, and bodily reactions interact, and to create small, doable steps toward goals. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when people want help finding internal reasons to change.

She has worked with issues tied to family of origin, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, body image, and sexual expression including BDSM and kink matters. Chante also supports people facing aging and caregiver stress, codependency, and co-occurring concerns.

Chante works in English and is able to work with international clients. She encourages people who are thinking about therapy to take the first step and explore whether her practical, skills-focused approach fits their situation.

Approaches used for online work and what to expect

Chante uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles because it breaks problems into clear steps and skills.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical changes that move a person toward their goals. This approach centers on what is already working and builds short-term plans to get better results. Somatic Therapy is part of her toolbox too; it pays attention to bodily reactions and can help when stress and trauma show up physically as tension or other sensations.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and personal preferences and then try approaches that fit. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so methods match what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and exercises to work well over distance while focusing on practical skills that fit everyday life.
