About Chanelle
Chanelle Spencer is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those facing workplace strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and people thinking about career direction or life purpose. Chanelle uses plain talk and practical steps so conversations feel useful from the first meeting.
Her style blends several well-known approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions often include skill-building for emotion regulation, exercises to shift unhelpful thinking, and techniques that help people notice values and take small action. She mixes mindful practices with focused problem-solving so people gain tools they can use between meetings.
Chanelle has nine years of clinical experience and holds LCSW credentials in New York and New Jersey. That background informs a steady, collaborative approach to common and complex problems. She aims to create space where people can speak honestly and try new ways of coping.
In sessions she pays attention to communication patterns and relationship dynamics that affect daily life. She helps parents navigate the strain of raising children and supports young adults facing transitions at work and school. Clients can expect clear goals, regular check-ins on progress, and practical homework when it will help.
Chanelle treats workplace issues and career concerns with the same focus as personal struggles. She invites people to clarify priorities, reduce overwhelm, and take steps that align with their values and responsibilities.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches specific skills to change behaviors and moods. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, looks at the ways emotions and connection shape reactions and helps people notice and shift those interaction patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on how things go.
Confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are listed during the scheduling process. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can meet around work, childcare, or school schedules. Licensed professionals can use the same ACT, CBT, and EFT tools online as in person, adapting exercises and homework to each person's routine.
