About Chanelle
Chanelle Spencer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She uses practical methods to help clients cope with trauma, parenting challenges, career stress, and relationship communication problems. Chanelle writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on what matters right now.
With nine years of experience, she blends several approaches to tailor care to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions are grounded in Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and connection, and she also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are used to build tolerance for hard emotions. Her style is warm and collaborative.
She listens closely, helps people identify patterns that cause pain, and works on small experiments to try outside of sessions. Practical skills like emotion regulation, boundary setting, and clearer communication are common focuses. Chanelle supports people facing parenting strain, pregnancy and childbirth questions, workplace stress, social anxiety, and the feeling of being isolated.
She also offers coaching around career direction and life purpose. Conversations are geared toward concrete steps clients can take between meetings. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Chanelle uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and how they shape relationships and personal patterns. It helps people notice core emotions and shift how they respond when those feelings are triggered. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts without getting pulled into them, clarify values, and commit to small actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and uses short exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and what feels most useful. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust the plan based on what helps most over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat or text supports quick check-ins or written reflections, and all formats make it simpler to fit appointments around work, childcare, or travel. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep continuity between sessions.
