About Chantal
Chantal MacDonald is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Nevada and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with five years of clinical experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also supports concerns related to relationships, self-esteem, parenting, and work stress.
Chantal uses practical, structured approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered ideas. Sessions focus on clear strategies, skill practice, and honest conversation about what is and isn’t working.
Her work includes attention to attachment and intimacy-related issues, body image and eating concerns, and challenges like ADHD or compassion fatigue. She also addresses more specific topics such as infidelity, codependency, and trauma-related dissociation. The aim is to break down problems into manageable steps and try small changes that can be measured over time.
Chantal keeps language direct and concrete in sessions. She talks through patterns, offers simple exercises, and checks in on what helps between meetings. People are encouraged to try practical tools and report back on how they felt and what changed.
She practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Before scheduling, readers should confirm the current session options and subscription details through the listed intake steps.
How her approaches translate to online care
Chantal commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test automatic thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on small experiments and skills you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, change habits, or manage mood. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current responses; this can help with intimacy issues and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they review what’s helping, adjust techniques, and set practical steps to try over several sessions.
The therapist’s listing does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, allow brief check-ins during a workday, or avoid needing to be on camera if that helps. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote meetings so the work remains practical and focused.
