About Chanta
Chanta Virden is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports those coping with addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, anger, career transitions, bipolar challenges, and ADHD.
Chanta works with people exploring life purpose, body image, money and financial worries, and women's or young adult issues. Her approach is practical and conversational.
How Chanta works
Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings. She uses plain language and active listening to help clients feel heard and understood. Chanta aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them.
Chanta blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with Solution-Focused work and motivational interviewing. She introduces mindfulness tools when they fit a person’s needs. The therapy plan is shaped around each person's goals and pace rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Over seven years of clinical experience inform her work in Texas. Chanta draws on that experience to help people manage symptoms and make steady changes. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the platform. Sessions are provided in English and designed to fit into busy lives.

Practical Approaches for Online Counseling
Chanta uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small steps and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple breathing and attention practices that reduce reactivity and increase focus. Mindfulness can help with anxiety, self-esteem, and coping with strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Chanta will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted based on what the person finds most useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let therapists and clients work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a day. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for brief reflections, reminders of skills, or ongoing support between sessions.
