About Chante
Chante Cross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with ten years of clinical experience after earning a master’s degree. She focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and anxiety and to improve motivation, confidence, and mood. Chante aims to meet people where they are and build on strengths they already have.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and clear skills to try between sessions. Chante often blends short-term, goal-focused work with body-centered techniques to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life.
How Chante works
She also uses methods that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, career challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include attachment and family of origin issues, body image, blended family concerns, and some sex-positive topics such as BDSM and kink.
Chante describes these areas as part of how she helps people untangle repeated struggles. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based. She treats each person as the expert on their story and works together with them to set realistic goals.
Sessions aim to build skills that fit into a person’s everyday life rather than stay confined to the therapy session. Chante offers counseling in English and accepts international clients when format and scheduling allow. Her work is aimed at helping people make changes that feel possible and sustainable over time.

How practical approaches translate to online therapy
Chante draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Somatic Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood, which can be practiced during video or phone sessions and reinforced with exercises between meetings. Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily signals and simple grounding or movement practices that help reduce physical tension and emotional overwhelm during stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is something Chante treats as a team effort. She listens to a person’s goals and preferences, tries a method, and adjusts based on what helps most. This collaborative process helps match techniques to real life needs rather than assuming one path fits everyone.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and needs. Video calls are useful for interactive skill practice and visual cues, phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or low-bandwidth situations, and messaging or live chat can work for check-ins, homework review, or maintaining momentum between sessions.
