Chanin Santini, LCSW

Chanin Santini is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who want clearer communication, steadier emotions, and better relationships. Common concerns listed include anger, anxiety, stress, addictions, intimacy issues, and trauma and abuse.

She uses straightforward conversation to map out what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer understanding rather than jargon. People bring worries like snapping at loved ones, workplace frustration, or long‑standing resentment, and she helps them notice patterns and try different ways of responding.

Her approach draws on client‑centered work and evidence‑based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also integrates mindfulness and relationship work from the Gottman Method where useful. That blend is aimed at improving communication, managing intense emotions, and shifting unhelpful thinking.

Chanin pays attention to how attachment, body image, or identity issues can shape anger and relationship problems. She also supports people facing life changes, grief, and stressors linked to health or caregiving. Sessions include goal setting and hands‑on skill practice to make changes outside the session.

Practical matters are discussed early so sessions fit daily life. Her work is offered in English from California. Prospective clients who want to start are asked to use the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
