Background and approach
Chanel also works with relapse prevention and addiction concerns, focusing on steps people can practice between sessions. As a registered yoga teacher she sometimes offers breath and movement exercises during telehealth appointments. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change next.
Chanel helps people name patterns, try simple behavior changes, and track small wins. She emphasizes skill building over jargon so clients can use tools in real life. Chanel adapts sessions to a person’s needs and goals.
She offers live video and phone sessions, along with live chat and text messaging for ongoing support. Messaging can be used to share thoughts between appointments and stay connected to the work. She practices in North Carolina and works in English.
The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is done through a short matching questionnaire and the Start Therapy flow.
Approaches that guide online work
Chanel uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on short-term changes that reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.She also teaches Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are useful for managing intense feelings and building steadier routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chanel collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call and phone, with live chat and text messaging available for ongoing support. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can be a lighter option when video is not needed, and messaging lets people check in between sessions or get brief coaching. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to use tools when they matter most.
