Chante Cross, LPC

Chante Cross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with ten years of post-master's experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and career challenges. She also supports those facing relationship strains, grief, trauma, parenting pressures, and compassion fatigue. Chante emphasizes a practical, strengths-based approach that centers the person's own goals and insights.

Her counseling style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for skills that already exist. Sessions emphasize clear strategies and small, achievable steps rather than long lectures or vague theory. Chante blends talk-based work with body-focused techniques when that seems useful.

Clinically, she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build different responses. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set reachable goals and notice progress. Somatic approaches bring attention to physical sensations tied to emotion and can help with regulation and grounding.

Chante has worked in counseling roles across settings for a decade, so she brings practical problem-solving alongside empathy. She often helps people who feel stuck by breaking problems into manageable pieces. Her focus areas include aging and geriatric issues when they relate to life transitions, caregiving, or loss.

People who value clear guidance, concrete tools, and a respectful partnership tend to fit well with her approach. She encourages early steps toward change and supports clients as they test new ways of coping and relating.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Chante commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. CBT helps people notice and change thinking patterns and build new habits, which can be practiced between sessions with worksheets and brief exercises. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete goals and steps, which can make each online meeting feel focused and actionable.

She also integrates Somatic Therapy when useful, bringing attention to breathing, posture, and bodily signals to help with emotional regulation. These techniques can be taught and practiced during a session and used afterward to manage stress or anxiety in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to choose methods together. This collaborative planning helps match approaches to someone’s needs rather than assuming one method fits everyone.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and support using documents or exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to digital sessions so progress keeps moving forward.
