About Chante
Chante Cross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with ten years of post-master's experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and career-related struggles. She also works with concerns like grief, trauma, intimacy-related issues, and parenting challenges.
Her style centers on practical steps and building on the client’s existing strengths. Chante believes people know their own stories best and that therapy is a collaborative effort.
Background and approach
She mixes straightforward conversation with skills practice so clients can see small changes quickly. Sessions tend to emphasize what will help in daily life, such as coping tools, behavior changes, and clearer communication. Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Somatic Therapy.
That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, set realistic goals, and tune into how the body responds to stress. These methods are used alongside motivational techniques to keep momentum between sessions. Clients can expect a warm but direct manner that highlights strengths and actionable steps.
Chante aims to empower people to try new strategies and to measure progress in concrete ways. She frames each session around the client’s immediate concerns and longer-term goals. Chante works with a wide range of life challenges including relationship and family-related concerns, caregiving stress, codependency, and issues around identity and sexuality.
She offers practical coaching for career decisions and support for those coping with major life changes.

How Chante’s Methods Translate to Online Care
Chante uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and experiments to try between meetings, which translate well to video or phone work. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and to build on what is already working in a client’s life. Those quick, goal-oriented conversations can move progress forward in a few focused sessions.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. Chante collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, preferences, and goals. Together they check what helps and adjust strategies as therapy continues so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats give flexibility for different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and emotional check-ins. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick reflections, homework support, or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
