About Chanelle
Chanelle Spencer helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those facing major life changes, parenting challenges, career questions, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Chanelle draws on nine years of clinical experience and practices as an LCSW, licensed in New York and New Jersey.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations aim to identify what feels overwhelming and to build practical steps forward. Her style blends several well-known approaches.
Background and approach
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies help people stay grounded when emotions feel strong. Chanelle also uses skills from dialectical behavior methods to manage intense feelings and improve coping.
Emotion-focused ideas guide conversations about relationships and attachment when those patterns cause pain. In therapy she offers coaching-oriented support alongside emotional processing. That means setting clear goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and checking progress together.
The tone is warm, direct, and collaborative. People seeking help can expect an approach that balances practical skills with space to talk through hard experiences. Chanelle aims to help people regain daily functioning and move toward clearer purpose and connection.

Online support
How Chanelle’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and finding direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting, which helps with anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and patterns in close relationships, helping people improve connection and resolve recurring conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, symptoms, and day-to-day needs. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and goal-focused.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, paced conversations, and written practice between sessions. These options help maintain momentum and make it simpler to schedule consistent care.
