Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful when someone feels stuck or struggles to move toward what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that increase distress and testing new, more helpful behaviors. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. It can help when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Chanel will work with each person to match methods to goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts the mix of techniques as progress and challenges emerge so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy with her includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from their chosen location. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support shorter updates, ongoing skill practice, or between-session communication. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
