How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Chantell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and recovery. One common approach helps people build coping strategies and improve low self-esteem through step-by-step skill practice and goal setting. Another approach addresses trauma and grief by helping people process difficult memories while learning ways to reduce distress and manage triggers.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Chantell collaborates with each person to figure out which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as therapy progresses. The process is shared and flexible so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during a workday or between errands. Some formats also make it simpler to choose shorter or camera-free meetings when that helps concentration or comfort. Ask about options and scheduling when you arrange your first session.
