About Chantelle

Chantelle Okoye is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Arizona with 13 years of experience. She helps people with relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting questions, motivation and self-esteem, and related issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress.

She focuses on practical conversations about thoughts, feelings, and daily habits. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens to what is happening now and asks questions to identify unhelpful patterns and small changes to try next.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift thinking and behavior. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she keeps the conversation focused on each person’s concerns and goals.

In session she may introduce DBT skills and mindfulness exercises found useful for managing strong emotions. These are taught in short, usable steps so they can be practiced between meetings. The focus is on concrete tools rather than abstract theory.

Chantelle is direct about planning next steps and checking what works. She will help set small, measurable goals and adjust them over time. People who want clear strategies and practical practice to change thoughts, moods, or behavior often find this approach useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Chantelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down thoughts and behaviors into concrete steps you can test. CBT sessions typically include identifying a problem thought, trying a short experiment or behavioral change, and reviewing what happened next. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and can help when relationship issues or intimacy concerns are central.

She frames these approaches as tools to try rather than fixed rules. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative - the therapist and client pick strategies based on current needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions will include regular check-ins to see which techniques are helping and which should be changed.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving - for example a shorter check-in during a break, or avoiding travel time. It can also allow flexibility for people who prefer not to use video on some days, or who need lower-bandwidth options. Ask about current session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical arrangements match your schedule and needs.
