About Chandel

Chandel Tommola is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 12 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, and ADHD-related concerns.

Background and approach

She welcomes individuals navigating life transitions, grief, depression, caregiving fatigue, addiction, and identity questions, and brings a warm, collaborative presence to each session. Chandel emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own lives and partners with them to clarify goals and strengthen coping skills.

Her practice draws from several evidence-informed methods rather than a single model, allowing her to tailor interventions to a person’s needs. She blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, and trauma-focused tools to challenge unhelpful patterns and build practical skills.

Chandel’s background includes work in personal settings, the justice system, in-home care, and telehealth, which contributes to a flexible approach to treatment. Clients can expect a respectful, goal-oriented collaboration that balances empathy with constructive challenge.

She offers multiple session formats and scheduling options to fit different lifestyles, aiming to help people regain a sense of direction, reduce distress, and reconnect with what matters to them.

Practical approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Chandel blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address emotional and behavioral challenges in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening, empathy, and helping clients feel heard so they can explore their own goals and values; this approach helps people who need a supportive, nonjudgmental space to make sense of life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, mood concerns, ADHD-related focus and organization issues, and coping skills development.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Chandel will work with each person to match strategies to their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques over time based on what is most helpful. Her intent is to combine warmth and practical tools so clients feel supported while making measurable progress.

Online therapy with Chandel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from home or work, and maintain continuity during life transitions. The range of options allows clients to select the communication style that best supports their progress while working with a licensed professional.
