Chantel Martin, LISW-CP

Chantel Martin is a licensed social worker in South Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, anger, trauma, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps that build confidence and motivation. Chantel emphasizes that clients are the experts in their own stories and brings a supportive, respectful approach to each meeting.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations that center their goals. Chantel listens first, then helps people identify small, workable changes. She uses guided questions and reflective listening to uncover strengths and resources already present in a person's life.

Her background includes four years of professional experience working with issues such as attachment and family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, abandonment, and finding life purpose. She also works with people facing veteran and armed forces issues, women's issues, young adult challenges, and building self-love.

Chantel draws on client-centered methods alongside mindfulness and motivation-focused techniques. That means sessions often include present-moment coping skills, clear goal-setting, and collaborative problem solving tailored to what each person wants to change.

Therapy sessions aim to be practical and accessible, with attention to small gains that add up over time. Chantel supports people as they try new strategies, check progress, and adjust plans when needed. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady, nonjudgmental support through that process.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Chantel uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's priorities and what matters most to them. This approach means conversations are guided by the client's goals and pace, which can be helpful when addressing stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

She also applies mindfulness therapy to teach simple, present-moment skills for managing anxiety and strong emotions. Mindfulness practices in sessions often include brief exercises that can be used between meetings to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chantel will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted based on what helps most.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people practice skills, set goals, and track progress in ways that fit everyday life.
