About Chanelle
Chanelle Spencer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of clinical experience based in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the uncertainty that follows major life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, workplace strain, and questions about life purpose.
Her style blends several practical therapies into straightforward sessions. Chanelle uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and strengthen important relationships. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client’s concerns.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, achievable goals. Conversations look at what is getting in the way of daily functioning. Clients practice skills between meetings and track what helps. The aim is to make progress that fits into a busy life rather than to follow abstract plans.
Chanelle works with people experiencing parenting stress, career uncertainty, social anxiety, isolation, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and young adult issues. She pays attention to communication problems and family conflict as they show up in everyday routines. People who are questioning what comes next often find it useful to talk through priorities and small next steps.
She holds New York and New Jersey LCSW credentials and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and subscription details through the platform’s scheduling tools.
How Chanelle Brings Evidence-Based Methods Online
Chanelle draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. ACT helps people clarify what matters and practice actions that align with those values, which can be useful when life changes leave someone unsure about next steps. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how relationships affect everyday life and to strengthen emotional connection where that is a goal. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is collaborative; the therapist and client discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as they learn what helps most.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Licensed professionals can still use practical exercises, behavioral assignments, and emotion-focused work across online sessions, and this therapist will help choose the structure that fits the client’s schedule and goals.
