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 works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and codependency-related patterns. Sessions are conducted in English and based in Florida.
Chantal uses approaches rooted in attachment-based work and client-centered care. She focuses on how relationships and early attachment experiences shape current patterns. In session she helps people notice how they respond to others, and what gets in the way of setting boundaries and preserving a sense of self.
Her practice also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to help people develop practical skills. That can include strategies for managing overwhelming emotions, reducing anxious thoughts, and changing habits that maintain harmful patterns.
Emotionally-focused methods are part of her work when relationship feelings and closeness issues come up. She helps people name and understand emotions, and then connect those feelings to choices that feel more manageable.
Chantal’s background includes supporting people through trauma, grief, and major life transitions. She encourages clear, direct conversation about issues like addiction, parenting stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and work-related strain.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Chantal’s work often draws on attachment-based therapy, which looks at how early and current relationships affect emotion and behavior. Online sessions using this lens focus on identifying patterns in relationships and practicing new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-centered therapy is also central; it emphasizes listening, reflection, and helping the client steer the work. That approach supports people who want a straightforward, conversational process to talk through what matters most to them.She blends cognitive behavioral therapy techniques into sessions to target thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety active. CBT tools in an online setting can include thought records, behavior experiments, and skill-building between meetings. Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and pick the strategies that fit best for the person’s situation.
