More about Chidale

- LPC
I'm a licensed therapist in South Carolina dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. With extensive experience across a broad range of concerns, I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and anger management, among many others.
My approach is grounded in compassion and practical support. I specialize in helping people work through communication difficulties, isolation, grief, guilt, shame, and the complex emotions that arise from past hurts and current life transitions. Whether you're facing relationship challenges, workplace stress, identity questions, or the weight of major life changes, I'm here to help you find clarity and healing.
I'm particularly skilled at supporting clients through trauma recovery, attachment issues, codependency patterns, and the spiritual dimensions of forgiveness and purpose. I also work with older adults and those seeking a faith-informed perspective in their healing journey.
My style is collaborative and person-centered. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your unique story, and walking alongside you as you build resilience and move toward meaningful change. Taking the step to seek support takes real courage, and I'm honored to be part of your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
