About Chidale
Chidale Blackwood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with six years of experience. She sees adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and family and parenting worries. She also addresses relationship strain, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating concerns, and life-change stressors.
Chidale uses clear, practical talk in sessions. She helps people untangle communication problems, codependency patterns, and attachment-related concerns. She offers support around abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and the emotional work that follows major losses or upheavals.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, attachment-based thinking, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered work. That means sessions can include values-focused goals, skills for handling intense emotions, and attention to how early relationships affect current patterns. Conversations are intended to be straightforward and actionable.
She also works with people who want faith-informed discussion as part of their therapy, and with older adults facing age-related changes. Chidale notes particular experience with trauma recovery, attachment issues, and codependency, and she supports people exploring identity and purpose alongside emotional healing.

How sessions work
How Chidale uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that reflect those values. It can help when life changes, stress, or avoidance get in the way of what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thought patterns and practical behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stressful routines. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in adult relationships, which can help with codependency, trust issues, and communication problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and use a collaborative process to decide what fits each person's goals and preferences. That may mean blending elements from different approaches as needs evolve.
