How her approaches translate to online therapy

Chantelle commonly uses cognitive behavioral work and attachment-based ideas in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which fits well into short exercises, thought records, and homework between sessions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people practice clearer communication and new ways of connecting, which can be discussed and rehearsed in conversation online.

She frames therapy as a joint process. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try based on the person's goals, day-to-day needs, and what feels most useful. That shared planning helps make sure tools are practical and matched to the client's life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people read facial cues and practice communication in real time. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work for brief updates, tracking skills, or continuing work between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and changing routines.
