About Chenelle
Chenelle Forbes is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing life changes and those who want to build confidence and self-worth.
She believes each person knows their own story and that strengths already exist to help move forward. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. Chenelle offers steady support while people take steps toward clearer goals and a more satisfying life.
In therapy she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, such as abandonment fears, attachment issues, control concerns, or difficulty with communication. She addresses painful feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, and isolation, and helps people who are working through forgiveness, infidelity, or grief related to hospice and end-of-life care.
Chenelle also helps clients navigate issues tied to money and financial stress and explores how those pressures affect emotions and decision making. She brings a direct, empathetic style and focuses on small, achievable changes people can use between sessions.
Her practice is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a collaborative stance. People who want clear, steady support while they sort through practical problems and emotional wounds may find her style accessible and grounded.
How Chenelle Uses Evidence-Based Care Online
Chenelle’s practice is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then teaches new ways to respond when stress or anxiety appears. This kind of work is useful for depression, worry, and financial stress where thinking and reaction patterns get in the way.Another approach focuses on relationships and attachment. It helps people notice patterns in how they connect, handle abandonment fears, and manage communication problems. This work is aimed at improving how someone relates to others and how they feel about themselves.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Chenelle works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the plan as clients try new skills and report what is or isn’t helping.
