About Chenelle
Chenelle Forbes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking so everyday life feels more manageable.
Chenelle helps people name what is most difficult right now. She listens for patterns like abandonment, attachment struggles, control issues, or isolation. From there she helps clients try concrete ways to change how they react and relate to others.
Her work addresses both emotions and practical problems. Topics might include communication difficulties, money and financial stress, grief and end-of-life concerns, or relationship issues such as infidelity. She also supports people managing guilt, shame, emptiness, or questions about life purpose.
Sessions aim to identify strengths already in the person’s life and build on them. Expect straightforward conversation, goal setting, and steps to practice between meetings. Chenelle uses an approach grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide this work.
People who prefer clear, practical support about daily struggles often find this style helpful. Language used in sessions is English. Chenelle is based in New York and works within the scope of her LCSW license.
BHow sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Chenelle uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical strategies. One commonly used approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression. This method helps people break cycles of worry and low mood through small experiments and skill-building.Another approach she draws on looks at how early attachment and relationship patterns shape current reactions. Sessions explore how past experiences affect trust, intimacy, and feelings of abandonment, and then try new ways of relating in day-to-day life. This can help with communication problems, isolation, and men's issues described in her focus areas.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chenelle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means adjusting techniques as the work progresses and focusing on practical steps that matter to the client.
Confirm the current session formats and scheduling options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let people avoid commute time, helping therapy fit into day-to-day life rather than displacing it.
