01 · Who Chantia works with

02 · In Chantia's own words

What Chantia says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

As a licensed therapist in North Carolina, I bring over a decade of compassionate, culturally responsive counseling experience. My practice centers on supporting individuals through life's complex transitions and challenges, with specialized expertise in stress management, relationship dynamics, and family systems.

I am deeply committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment that honors each client's unique journey. My approach integrates evidence-based practices with a holistic understanding of personal growth, focusing on areas such as self-love, communication skills, women's wellness, and navigating significant life changes.

My professional background includes extensive work with diverse populations, particularly supporting individuals through challenging transitions: like divorce, caregiving, aging, and personal transformation. I approach each client's experience with empathy, respect, and a genuine commitment to their emotional well-being and personal empowerment.

03 · How Chantia works

The 4 approaches Chantia lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Chantia lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Chantia's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Chantia runs a session.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Works on the assumption that current patterns - in relationships, at work, in how you treat yourself - have a history, and that seeing the history loosens the pattern. Less structured than CBT, usually longer, and more interested in what comes up unbidden than in a weekly agenda.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

• Somatic Therapy

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Chantia practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Chantia's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Chantia at this point.

2. Naming Chantia specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Chantia is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Chantia.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Chantia

Built from what Chantia actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Chantia's - Chantia has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Where every line on this page came from

Chantia's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Chantia. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
