Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters most to each person and on small steps that can reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Chantelle listens closely and reflects back what she hears, then works with clients to try practical tools that fit their life.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns, client-centered listening to follow the client's lead, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and mindfulness to build moment-to-moment awareness. Chantelle brings 13 years of experience to her practice and keeps work focused on real-world problems.
Sessions aim to build coping skills, increase confidence, and help people make decisions that match their values. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People meet Chantelle through a brief matching process and then choose from video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She offers a direct, humane style intended to help people feel listened to and more able to manage their next steps.
How Chantelle's Approaches Work Online
Chantelle blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening to focus on relationship patterns and each person's goals. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people try new ways of relating. Client-centered listening means the therapist follows the client's priorities and helps create a plan that fits their life.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into small parts so clients can test different ways of thinking and acting to see what helps. These approaches are helpful for anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and many everyday struggles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chantelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new issues arise.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, quick live chat can fit short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, childcare, or other routines.
