Her practice addresses a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship challenges, and addictions, alongside additional focuses such as attachment and abandonment, body image, and parenting issues.

Her work includes attention to sexuality and gender-related concerns, grief, career questions, and attention-related difficulties.
Appointments are offered on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 6:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m., and 8:00 p.m., with occasional make-up sessions when scheduling allows. She welcomes inquiries from people seeking focused, goal-oriented support for life transitions and emotional concerns.

Telehealth options and therapeutic focus
Chandel offers telehealth sessions that bring her integrative approach into remote formats. In video and phone sessions she adapts Client-Centered principles to create collaborative conversations that prioritize each person’s priorities. This approach supports exploration of personal values and goals while shaping the direction of therapy together.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and shift thinking and behavioral patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. When addressing readiness for change, motivational interviewing techniques are woven in to clarify ambivalence and support steps toward stated goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy is available for those working through past harm, with attention to safety, stabilization, and processing within the agreed pace of the person in care.
Chandel provides sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, and she discusses with each person which combination best fits their needs and schedule. Her style aims to be practical and collaborative, tailoring methods from several models to match the priorities and pace of the individual.
