About Chanta
Chanta Virden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and identity.
Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. Sessions are meant to be practical and conversational. She aims to give clear tools people can try between appointments and to talk through what is getting in the way of change.
Background and approach
Chanta uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, solution-focused ideas, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing in session. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, set small achievable goals, and practice new skills in short steps. She adapts methods to match each person’s situation and goals.
She brings seven years of experience working with a wide range of concerns and life stages. Her background includes work supporting people through major life changes, career stress, intimacy-related problems, body image and money worries. She also works with LGBT and women’s issues and young adult challenges.
Chanta offers sessions in English and provides appointments through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies with location and therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Chanta commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel anxiety or low mood by practicing new responses and setting clear small goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, emotional ups and downs, and coping with triggers.Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Chanta will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then tailor sessions and techniques together. She aims to blend approaches so they match each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read nonverbal cues and do interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, short coaching, and day-to-day support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or school schedules while keeping consistent progress.
