About Chante
Chante Cross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 10 years of post-master's experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Chante helps people build practical skills for motivation, confidence, and career challenges.
Her approach treats clients as the experts on their own stories. She combines talk-based techniques with body-aware methods to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and mind.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, coping strategies, and small steps that fit daily life. Chante commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also draws on Solution-Focused work to set short-term goals and measure progress.
Somatic techniques are woven in to help with grounding, calming, and restoring balance when emotions feel overwhelming. Clients who prefer pragmatic plans and embodied practices often find her style a good match. She emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s pace.
Chante aims to create space for honest conversation and real-world tools that can be used between sessions. People come for a range of issues including relationships, grief, parenting strain, trauma responses, intimacy questions, and career stress. She also addresses concerns like codependency, attachment wounds, body image, and caregiver burnout.
The focus is on helping people manage symptoms and move toward more stable daily functioning.
How somatic and cognitive approaches work online
Somatic Therapy helps people notice physical sensations linked to stress and emotion and learn simple grounding and regulation methods. It can be useful for anxiety, trauma reactions, and when emotions feel stuck in the body. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent by exploring values and building motivation for change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods, adjust the plan, and track progress so the work matches the client's needs.
Online formats offer flexible ways to use these approaches. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for discussion and guided somatic exercises. Phone sessions can be useful for shorter or more personal conversations. Live chat and text-based messaging let people communicate in writing between sessions and share updates or quick coping strategies. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining consistent momentum toward goals.
