About Chanel
Chanel Bowen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and related issues listed in her profile.
Bowen uses practical, skills-focused therapy. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, stress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Sessions may include relapse prevention strategies for problematic behaviors when relevant.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas and attachment-based perspectives to help people notice patterns and choose actions that match their values. Her style centers on straightforward teaching of tools people can use between sessions.
As a registered yoga teacher, she can guide simple stress-reduction exercises during telehealth visits when the client wants that option. Those exercises are presented as short practices to help calm the body and focus attention.
Chanel offers live video and phone sessions primarily on weekdays and describes responding to messages Monday through Friday. Messaging is noted as a way for clients to share thoughts outside session hours.
Her approach suits people looking for concrete skills to manage anxiety, rebuild routines after relapse or loss, or work through attachment and relationship patterns. Readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details when they choose to book.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when anxiety is present. It focuses on accepting difficult feelings and committing to practical steps that fit life goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, sleep trouble, and mood difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training teaches specific strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as skills are practiced and new challenges arise.
The therapist's profile notes live video and phone sessions as session types, and she also mentions using messaging for client notes and updates. Confirm the current session options before booking so they match your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let the therapist guide brief stress-reduction exercises such as breathing or movement during a session when clients want that option.
