Remote care using structured skills and attachment-focused work
Chantal offers online sessions that draw on cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is described in straightforward terms that emphasize collaborative goal setting, problem identification, and practical skill practice during and between sessions. This approach is often paired with mindfulness practices to support present-moment awareness and stress reduction techniques.
Dialectical behavior therapy elements are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These DBT-informed strategies provide concrete tools clients can apply when strong emotions or relationship conflicts arise. Attachment-based therapy perspectives are integrated to explore relational patterns, attachment wounds, and the ways early connections influence current relationships and sense of self.
Sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Chantal frames the online process as collaborative, working with each person to choose approaches and communication formats that match their preferences and goals.
