About Chantel
Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (SC LISW-CP) and four years of professional experience, Chantel Martin focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and coping with life changes. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment and family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, forgiveness, life purpose, veteran and armed forces issues, self-love, women's issues, and young adult transitions. Chantel uses client-centered methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques in her practice.
Chantel believes clients are the experts on their own stories. Sessions prioritize what the person brings and build on existing strengths. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer choices rather than long lectures. She aims to make each meeting a place to notice progress and try something different.
In session she listens, reflects, and asks questions that help people identify what matters to them. Mindfulness practices are offered to manage stress and ground difficult emotions. Motivational interviewing techniques help when motivation or confidence feels low.
Solution-focused tools are used to set short-term goals and track small changes over time. The client-centered stance keeps the pace and focus aligned with the person's values. Work can include examining family patterns, attachment concerns, and sources of shame or guilt.
Chantel takes a practical approach to grief, trauma, and life transitions. She supports people who want clearer direction, steadier mood, or better coping skills. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work for remote sessions
Client-centered therapy starts from the person's goals and experiences and focuses sessions on what the client identifies as most important. This approach helps guide online conversations and keeps work relevant to daily challenges.Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises that can be used to reduce stress and manage intense emotions. These exercises translate well to virtual sessions and can be practiced between meetings to support steadying mood.
Motivational interviewing helps when a person feels stuck or unsure about change. It uses gentle questions to clarify values and boost confidence for making incremental steps toward goals.
Chantel approaches finding the right combination of techniques as a shared task. She will discuss preferences, try different methods, and adjust based on what helps the person reach their short-term aims. Decisions about focus and pace are made together during early sessions.
The platform's session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. People often find remote sessions useful for fitting therapy around work, reducing travel time, or having shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also require less bandwidth or allow for audio-only conversation, which can help with practical constraints during a busy day.
