Chanelle Spencer, LCSW

Chanelle Spencer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who practices an integrative blend of evidence-based interventions. She weaves together therapeutic techniques to offer a holistic approach that supports people through traumatic experiences, depression, anxiety, and life transitions that interfere with everyday functioning.

Chanelle specializes in work with children, adolescents, and their families while also maintaining substantial experience with adult clients. Her practice emphasizes matching interventions to each person’s needs - combining practical coping strategies with attention to emotional healing and family dynamics. Whether addressing trauma, mood concerns, or significant changes in life circumstances, she adapts her methods to help restore routine and improve overall functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Chanelle frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and develop willingness to experience difficult thoughts and feelings while pursuing meaningful life directions. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life transitions where building a valued-based life is a goal.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns in thinking and behavior that maintain distress, and to teach practical skills for shifting unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT is often effective for managing stress, mood concerns, and anxiety symptoms.

Client-Centered Therapy is another foundation of her work, emphasizing empathy, respect, and an accepting therapeutic relationship that supports self-exploration and self-esteem. Chanelle blends these methods to suit the individual needs of children, adolescents, families, and adults, working collaboratively to determine the best fit based on goals and preferences.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care around work, school, and family schedules. These options offer flexibility in how and when therapy happens, helping clients engage with therapists in ways that fit their daily lives.
