Approach to online sessions and therapeutic methods
Chanel draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and build small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and daily habits that get in the way. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. Chanel will discuss what feels useful and adjust methods based on a person’s goals, comfort, and progress. That means trying skills in session, checking how they land, and changing strategies when needed.
The biography lists live video and phone sessions and mentions messaging as a way to share thoughts between meetings. If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact formats and scheduling before you book so they fit your routine. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy around work or school, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone choose video or phone based on how much bandwidth or camera time they want.
