About Chanelle
Chanelle Spencer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with nine years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, major life changes, parenting strains, career concerns, and recovery after trauma and abuse.
Her style mixes practical, evidence-based tools with a client-centered attitude. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She uses techniques to lower distress in the moment and to build long-term coping skills.
Chanelle draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and support action toward meaningful goals. Elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused approaches are used when emotion regulation and relationship patterns are a concern.
In a typical session she helps people identify one or two manageable changes to try between meetings. She offers coaching-style support for career and parenting challenges alongside therapeutic work. Expect concrete strategies, practice exercises, and check-ins on progress.
Her background includes nine years working in clinical social work settings. She brings that experience to practical problem solving and to addressing daily life stressors. People who want straightforward, skills-focused work often find this approach helpful.
BHow sessions work
How Chanelle uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values while learning to accept uncomfortable feelings. It can help when life changes, low mood, or uncertainty are getting in the way of meaningful action. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and social anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chanelle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is revisited as progress is tracked and priorities shift.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten commutes, and keep momentum between meetings. It also allows focused check-ins and skills practice that can be scheduled around work, childcare, or other responsibilities.
