About Chantal

Chantal MacDonald is a licensed counselor who blends client-centered care with evidence-based techniques to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction challenges, trauma, and grief. With LCPC and LMHC credentials, she offers a collaborative, respectful approach that encourages clients to explore feelings and thoughts at their own pace.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes building trust and emotional awareness to support meaningful change. Over five years of clinical experience inform her practice across a wide range of concerns including depression, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

She also addresses complex topics such as attachment wounds, eating and body image struggles, dissociation, gender dysphoria, and communication difficulties. Sessions aim to empower clients to develop practical coping skills while also attending to deeper relational patterns.

Based in Florida, Chantal integrates modalities such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, CBT, DBT, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to match interventions to each person’s goals. She frames therapy as a partnership and supports clients through change with warmth, patience, and professional guidance.

Online Approaches That Focus on Connection and Skill Building

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding how early relationship patterns influence present emotions and interactions; it helps people identify attachment needs and develop more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with ADHD-related challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on recognizing and reshaping emotional responses within close relationships to improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and challenges and will draw on different methods as needed so that treatment fits what the client hopes to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to attend regularly around work, family, and other commitments while still working with a licensed professional on skill building, emotional processing, and practical strategies tailored to the client’s life.
