About Chantel
Chantel Martin is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina with four years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and major life changes. Chantel also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment, family of origin dynamics, and concerns common to young adults and women.
Chantel takes a simple, person-focused approach. She starts by listening to the story a person brings. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions tend to center on practical steps rather than long explanations.
Her methods include client-centered work, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. That means sessions can include reflective conversation, brief goal-setting, noticing patterns in the moment, and planning small changes that are realistic to try between meetings.
People often come for help when anger or resentment is getting in the way of work or close relationships. Chantel will talk through triggers, responses, and safer ways to get needs met. She also addresses shame, guilt, forgiveness, and questions about meaning or life purpose when those issues come up.
Chantel works in English and supports veterans and armed forces–related concerns among other focus areas. Her approach is straightforward: identify what matters most, try doable strategies, and check what helps over time. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.
Approaches used online and how they help
Chantel draws on client-centered work and mindfulness therapy in sessions. Client-centered work means she focuses on the person's perspective, listens closely, and helps people name what matters and what they want to change. Mindfulness therapy teaches short, practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings so reactions like anger become easier to recognize and manage.She also uses motivational interviewing to clarify what a person cares about and to build small steps toward those goals. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes. Deciding which of these approaches to use is part of the work. Chantel will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single path.
Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to add short check-ins, try mindfulness exercises between meetings, or work through anger triggers without needing extra travel time. The focus is on finding approaches that fit everyday life and testing small strategies to see what helps.
