Her therapeutic stance is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, aiming to create a space where people feel heard and empowered to make meaningful changes. Chanel blends evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based strategies to help clients process experiences and build skills that extend beyond the therapy session. She also incorporates Motivational Interviewing, psychoeducation, and practical coping skills to support stress management and resilience.

Chanel emphasizes skill-building and real-world application so clients can strengthen emotional regulation, improve communication, and increase confidence over time. As an LMHC, which denotes a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, she focuses on providing consistent, supportive care tailored to each individual or family’s goals and circumstances.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Chanel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical behavior changes that address symptoms of anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete tools for day-to-day coping.

She also integrates trauma-informed care, an approach that recognizes the impact of traumatic experiences and emphasizes safety, empowerment, and pacing. This perspective supports people who are processing trauma, abuse, or significant loss by honoring their readiness and resilience.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Chanel works with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers to consistent care. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured therapy and practical skill-building in ways that fit into a client’s life and routine.
