About Chidale
Chidale Blackwood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, family concerns, anger, and addictions. Her work also includes issues related to identity, grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career questions, and ADHD.
Chidale uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her main approaches. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Client-Centered therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In sessions she pays attention to feelings that are hard to name and to patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life.
Her practical focus is on communication problems, codependency patterns, abandonment and attachment issues, and processing past hurts. She helps people talk through guilt, shame, isolation, and the emotional fallout of major life changes. She also supports people navigating the spiritual side of forgiveness and purpose when that matters to them.
Chidale describes her style as collaborative and person-centered. She works with older adults as noted in her background. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping emotional responses and attachment patterns. It helps people notice how emotions drive interaction habits and offers ways to name and shift those patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without trying to fight them and choosing actions that align with values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based work focuses on how early relationships shape present day reactions and helps people try new ways of connecting and responding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean using elements of EFT alongside ACT or CBT techniques, depending on what the client needs.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in appointments when needed. They also let people pick a time that works around work or caregiving responsibilities. Speak with the matching process to learn which session formats are available and to schedule a first appointment.
