About Chantel
Chantel Martin is a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina with four years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment, family of origin dynamics, guilt and shame, forgiveness, life purpose, veteran and armed forces concerns, self-love, women’s issues, and challenges common to young adults.
Chantel uses a straightforward, client-centered style. She treats the person sitting in front of her as the expert on their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions often focus on practical steps, motivation, and rebuilding confidence after a setback.
Her approach draws on client-centered therapy to listen and reflect, mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and feelings, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing change or wants help boosting their motivation.
In session she helps people talk through where they feel stuck, identify small changes that matter, and practice new ways of responding. Conversations are aimed at clearer next steps, not at quick fixes. Chantel emphasizes steady, achievable progress and practical coping skills.
People who want to begin with a short assessment and then focus on concrete goals tend to do well in her work. To start, visitors follow the site’s matching flow to choose session options and schedule a first meeting.
Approaches used in online sessions and practical fit
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and treating the client as the authority on their own experience. It helps when someone needs a collaborative place to talk through values, decisions, and what matters next.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them. This work can reduce overwhelm and help with anxiety, stress, and repetitive negative thinking.
Motivational interviewing helps people who are weighing change or feeling unsure about next steps. It uses focused conversation to clarify goals and increase readiness for action, which can be useful for motivation, confidence, and behavior change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which combination of methods fits the client’s goals, needs, and preferences through initial conversations and regular check-ins. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Confirm session formats before booking, as options are listed during the site’s matching flow. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Some formats also use less bandwidth or do not require video, which can help people manage practical constraints while keeping steady progress.
