About Chanelle
Chanelle Spencer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Chanelle also supports clients with parenting and career questions and offers coaching around life direction and practical next steps.
Her style blends well-known therapeutic methods into straightforward, goal-focused sessions. Chanelle listens for what matters most and then uses tools from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address those concerns. Sessions balance talking, skills practice, and checking what works between meetings.
Chanelle has worked with young people as well as adults, and she pays attention to how family dynamics and communication patterns affect mood and behavior. She talks through concrete strategies for improving communication, coping with isolation, and handling workplace stress.
When trauma or abuse is part of the picture, she helps clients stabilize symptoms and build pacing for more intensive work. That may include emotional skill-building, grounding practices, or values-based steps that fit daily life.
Clients can expect practical suggestions alongside reflective conversation. Chanelle frames therapy as a collaborative process that focuses on specific goals like feeling less overwhelmed, improving relationships with others, or finding clearer direction in work and parenting.
How Chanelle Uses EFT, ACT, and CBT Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and how they shape relationships and personal patterns. It helps name hard-to-reach feelings and explores how those feelings affect behavior and connection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values and committed action; it teaches acceptance of difficult thoughts while moving toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chanelle will discuss these methods and decide collaboratively which fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation helps shape session focus and homework between visits.
