Dr. Chantell Scott, LPC

Dr. Chantell Scott is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years in the mental health field. She practices in Georgia and offers a straightforward, respectful approach to therapy. Her style is warm and interactive, and she aims to help people take practical steps toward feeling better.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or parenting challenges. She also works with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and ADHD. Sessions focus on what is getting in the way now and what can change next.

Dr. Scott uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused approaches. In practice that means identifying unhelpful thinking, trying small new behaviors, and building skills for managing emotions. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs instead of using one fixed method.

Therapy sessions are collaborative and aimed at clear goals. People can expect practical tools, short exercises, and guided reflection between sessions. She also integrates coaching elements when clients want help with career or life transitions.

Dr. Scott emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and avoiding stigmatizing labels. She encourages people who are ready to try something different to take that first step and will work with each person to set realistic, achievable goals.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Scott commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered work to guide online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace to build trust and clarify goals.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice their thoughts and bodily stress, which can improve coping with anxiety, sleep problems, and emotional reactivity. Choosing the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most for each person.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quick check-ins, and messaging supports short reflections or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep working on goals between sessions.
