About Chantelle

Chantelle Okoye is an Arizona-licensed LPC who brings 13 years of clinical experience to work with people facing relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, grief, and a broad range of other issues.

Background and approach

She also addresses areas such as intimacy-related difficulties, ADHD, compassion fatigue, career concerns, bipolar mood concerns, and complex topics like adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and body image. Chantelle's practice emphasizes helping clients navigate life transitions and manage co-occurring challenges with practical strategies and empathic support.

Her therapeutic stance centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and emotions can be voiced and explored. She integrates evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness Therapy to tailor interventions to each person's needs.

Chantelle aims to empower clients to identify patterns, develop coping skills, and build healthier relationships and self-understanding while collaborating on concrete goals and steps toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Chantelle draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as key ways to structure online work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping people understand how those patterns shape current closeness and communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Chantelle works with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adapting the mix of strategies over time so the work fits each person’s needs and pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support between sessions. These options can make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow Chantelle to use skills-based exercises, mindfulness practices, and check-ins in ways that suit each client’s routine.
