Chante Cross, LPC

Chante Cross is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with ten years of post-master's experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She also supports concerns around relationships, grief, intimacy, career strain, and trauma and abuse.

Her approach treats the person as the expert in their own story. She uses straightforward methods to build practical skills. Sessions focus on small, usable changes rather than long lectures.

Chante draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns that affect mood and behavior. She blends that with Solution-Focused work to set clear, short-term goals. Somatic techniques are used to help clients tune into how the body holds stress and to learn simple regulation skills.

Her style is supportive and empowering. She emphasizes motivation and confidence so clients can try new steps between sessions. Conversations are aimed at what people want to change and which steps feel realistic for them.

Chante also addresses topics such as attachment, codependency, body image, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and sexual lifestyle concerns including BDSM and kink. She invites clients to bring what matters most and to shape therapy around their goals.

How Chante’s Methods Translate to Online Work

Chante commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Somatic Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework. Somatic Therapy focuses on how stress and emotions show up in the body and teaches simple body-based techniques to reduce tension and regain calm.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaboration helps shape what to focus on in sessions and which exercises to try between meetings.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up check-ins without disrupting the day. Therapists can recommend short practical exercises, goal-focused plans, and body-awareness practices that are easy to do between sessions and fit into everyday life.
