About Chandel
Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 12 years of experience, Chandel Tommola helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She works with concerns like parenting stress, addiction, grief, intimacy problems, ADHD, and LGBT issues. Sessions are offered in English and she does not accept international clients.
Chandel describes counseling as a collaborative process. She uses several approaches instead of one fixed model. In sessions she listens for patterns, then gently challenges thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of goals. The work often focuses on building coping skills, increasing self-understanding, and breaking habits that keep someone stuck.
Her background includes work in private offices, the justice system, in-home settings, and telehealth. That range informs her practical approach to common problems such as job loss, relationship endings, social withdrawal, and intrusive worry. She also addresses issues that emerge from past trauma, including how early experiences can affect present relationships.
Chandel uses tools from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She frames the client as the expert on their life and combines listening with direct feedback and skill building.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking so the format meets your needs.

How Chandel Uses Therapeutic Methods Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify feelings and make their own decisions about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching concrete skills for managing worry, low mood, and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how traumatic experiences affect current reactions and relationships and uses focused strategies to reduce their impact.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Chandel will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That means sessions can mix listening, skills practice, and focused exercises depending on the issue at hand.
The biography notes telehealth experience but does not list specific session formats here. Confirm the exact session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, or transportation limits. Remote work also makes it straightforward to keep regular appointments, practice new skills between sessions, and involve brief check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals adapt these approaches so the work fits everyday life and goals.
