About Chantell
Chantell Laws is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with nine years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
She focuses on practical steps that help people manage overwhelming feelings and day-to-day demands. Sessions look at how relationships, past events, and current stresses affect mood and choices. She also supports people coping with abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, caregiving stress, and problems with communication or commitment.
Chantell helps clients build resilience and stronger self-regulation skills. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to develop clearer coping strategies and improve how people relate to others. Work in sessions may include talking through difficult memories and practicing new ways to communicate and set boundaries.
Her background includes substantial work with caregivers and people experiencing major life transitions. She pays attention to the practical impacts of emotional problems, such as daily routine, work demands, and relationships with others. Chantell aims to help people identify small, manageable changes that add up to real improvement.
People who choose her often want direct, concrete support for specific problems rather than broad statements or long-term abstract work. She draws on clinical experience to help clients make decisions, process loss, and address patterns that keep causing pain.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches work in online care
Chantell uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work online. Cognitive-behavioral approaches involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. That can help with social anxiety, seasonal mood shifts, and low self-esteem. Trauma-informed methods focus on pacing, grounding skills, and processing difficult memories in ways that reduce overwhelming reactions; these are often used for trauma, abuse, and grief.Finding the right approach happens together. Chantell will review goals, symptoms, and what has or hasn’t helped before suggesting techniques. Clients and the therapist check progress and adjust methods based on what feels useful and realistic for everyday life.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work, caregiving, or medical appointments around therapy. They also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t possible, and they remove travel time so people can use that time for other responsibilities. Ask about session length and whether phone or video options are offered when you set up the first appointment.
