About Chantia

Chantia Carter is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 11 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, grief, and life changes. She also supports people coping with parenting, ADHD, depression, anger, LGBT issues, and self-esteem concerns.

Her sessions focus on practical steps and clear talk. She listens for repeated patterns from the family people grew up in and looks at how those patterns affect current relationships and decisions. She uses a mix of methods to help people notice what keeps repeating and try different ways of responding.

Chantia uses approaches such as Imago Relationship Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to look at relationship dynamics and early influences. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build simple skills for managing stress and making short-term changes.

In sessions she may work on communication skills, setting boundaries, and handling difficult conversations. She helps people sort through grief, transitions like divorce or caregiving, and issues around fertility, aging, or end-of-life concerns. The work is aimed at clearer thinking and calmer responses rather than labels or quick fixes.

Her background includes years supporting people through caregiving stress, divorce and family conflict. She offers coaching-style tools when useful and supports people exploring self-love and women's health concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the practice standards for an NC LCSW.

How therapy approaches are used in online sessions

Imago Relationship Therapy focuses on how partners relate and communicate. It uses structured dialogues to help people understand each other's viewpoints and practice new ways of speaking and listening, which can help with recurring conflicts and connection problems.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. It helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting carried away, which is useful for anxiety, stress, and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. They can try different methods and adjust the plan together based on what makes a noticeable difference in day-to-day life.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know how sessions are held. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow for options like phone sessions if bandwidth is limited or a quick session fits better into a break. Therapists and licensed professionals often use a mix of methods so the focus stays on practical changes and clearer communication rather than on labels.
