About Chantal

Chantal MacDonald is a licensed counselor who uses person-focused, evidence-informed methods to help people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and mood concerns. She holds licensure as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and she practices in Florida.

Chantal keeps sessions direct and down-to-earth so people can talk about what matters to them without jargon. She creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be named and examined.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on practical steps and new ways of coping, not on lists of diagnoses. Chantal helps people set small, realistic goals and learn skills they can use between sessions. Her background includes five years working in clinical settings across Florida and Nevada, supporting people through life transitions and difficult events.

That experience informs a flexible approach that mixes talking, skill practice, and emotion work based on each person’s needs. Chantal draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, emotionally focused techniques, and client-centered methods. She adapts these methods to address issues like relationship strain, ADHD, body image concerns, grief, and coping with change.

Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. People who want to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an appointment through the site.

Online support

Bringing attachment and practical skills to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships affect current feelings and reactions. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and develop more supported ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and move through strong emotions to build clearer communication and stronger bonds in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist work together to decide which strategies to keep, which to change, and how to measure progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving options for different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and texting allow for brief check-ins, written reflection, or flexible communication over the week. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
