About Chantelle

Chantelle Okoye is an Arizona Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, and anger. She also supports those facing career stress, grief, and changes like adoption or caregiving challenges.

Chantelle uses straightforward talk and practical skills in sessions. She focuses on what is happening now and what people can try between meetings. Her work often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thoughts. She also brings attachment-based perspectives to understand how past relationships shape current patterns.

Clients can expect a client-centered approach where their concerns guide the work. That means conversations start with what matters most to the person and move at a pace they can manage. Mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas are included when they fit the goals, offering tools for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

Chantelle has experience with a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, body image, blended family issues, and intimacy-related struggles. She also addresses less common topics like BDSM, alternative sex culture, and antisocial or avoidant personality features when they arise in a client's story.

Sessions aim to build clearer patterns and practical strategies rather than labels. She asks questions, listens for patterns, and works with clients to try small, measurable steps that reduce conflict and improve daily functioning.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Chantelle commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas when working remotely. CBT focuses on spotting thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which helps with anger, anxiety, and low mood. Attachment-based work looks at patterns from earlier relationships and how they affect current reactions, useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

She also uses client-centered and mindfulness techniques in online sessions. Client-centered methods keep the agenda focused on what the person wants to change. Mindfulness offers simple breathing and attention exercises to lower arousal and help manage impulses between meetings. Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process; Chantelle will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their needs and goals.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in the same settings where problems occur, which can help transfer what is learned into daily life.
