Chidale Blackwood, LPC

Chidale Blackwood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship strain, and related concerns. She also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and life transitions.

Chidale uses straightforward, person-centered work. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer communication. She helps clients notice patterns, manage strong emotions, and try new ways of responding when old habits cause trouble.

Her approach blends cognitive behavioral ideas with acceptance-based tools and attachment-focused conversation. That means clients learn ways to recognize unhelpful thoughts, practice acceptance of painful feelings, and look at how past relationships influence present reactions. Dialectical behavior ideas are used when emotion regulation or distress tolerance skills are helpful.

She often supports people working through codependency, abandonment issues, and relationship communication problems. She also addresses complex grief, faith-informed questions, and the emotional fallout of trauma and attachment wounds. Work can include short-term skill building or longer work around deeper life patterns.

Chidale frames therapy as collaborative and practical. She encourages small experiments between sessions and clear steps for reducing reactivity. People who want direct tools for managing anger or for rebuilding relationships may find this style useful.
