Chantel Martin , LISW-CP

Chantel Martin is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and relationship or family concerns. She focuses on women's issues among other areas and encourages clients to find strengths they already have. Chantel uses straightforward, supportive guidance to help people take the first steps toward change.

She believes each person knows their own story best and works from that perspective. Sessions center on the client's goals and what feels most useful for them in the moment. Chantel offers clear feedback and practical steps rather than long lectures.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with tools that build motivation and focus on concrete solutions. Mindfulness practices are introduced when they help calm stress and sharpen awareness. Motivational interviewing is used to boost readiness for change and strengthen commitment to goals.

Chantel has four years of professional experience and holds the LISW-CP credential, which is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice authorization. She provides care to people in South Carolina and conducts sessions in English.

She works through common life challenges such as abandonment, attachment and family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose. Chantel also supports veterans and young adults navigating transitions. Her style is respectful, direct, and goal-focused to make each session feel productive.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what matters to them, and helps them name their goals; this approach helps with self-esteem, motivation, and relationship concerns.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage anxious thoughts. These short exercises can be used between sessions to steady emotions and improve focus during daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chantel will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts methods over time so sessions remain practical and goal-oriented.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allows flexibility for different days and schedules. Video lets people see facial cues and have deeper conversations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, or when someone prefers writing to speaking.

These options make it possible to fit therapy around work, family duties, schooling, or busy days without losing continuity of care.
