She also has experience with HIV/AIDS related concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, men’s issues, money and financial stress, and self-love.
People meet in a straightforward way to set goals, try new skills between sessions, and review what changes. The approach is practical and focused on real-life results rather than labels or technical jargon.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Chenelle describes her practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skill-building for stress and anxiety management, which involves learning breathing, grounding, and planning strategies to reduce immediate overwhelm and improve daily functioning. This helps when anxiety makes routine tasks hard to complete.Another area of focus is trauma-informed work that addresses how past hurt affects current relationships and behavior. That involves naming patterns, tracking triggers, and developing coping responses so difficult memories or reactions become easier to navigate in daily life.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust as needed. That means the plan can change if a method isn’t helping or if priorities shift over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue with therapy when life circumstances change, while the therapist helps adapt tools and pacing to fit the client’s day-to-day routine.
