About Channing
Channing Herrera is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often include practical strategies for managing anxiety and panic, and steps to address attachment wounds and relationship concerns. Channing also helps clients facing body image struggles, guilt and shame, and the effects of seasonal mood shifts.
Her work pays attention to what happened in the past and what plays out now. Conversations aim to identify repeated patterns and try new ways of responding. She guides clients in learning skills to reduce panic symptoms and handle social situations that feel overwhelming.
Channing describes her style as collaborative. She and the client set goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs. Progress is tracked in small, practical steps such as building confidence for speaking up or reducing avoidance of social settings.
She records experience helping adults, women, and parents in navigating caregiving stress, family problems, and young adult issues. Sessions include both short-term problem-solving and deeper work on attachment, forgiveness, and self-love. Her practice is offered in English to people located in California.
How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions
Channing draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thinking patterns and internal parts of the self. Cognitive behavioral methods look at thoughts and behaviors that maintain anxiety and teach practical steps to change them, useful for panic, social fears, and phobias. Internal systems work helps identify and communicate with different internal parts that hold fear or shame, which can clarify why social situations feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Channing will discuss different methods and try what fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is made together and can shift over time as progress is tracked and new challenges appear.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also lets people use quieter surroundings, avoid camera use when preferred, or choose a format that uses less bandwidth, depending on what the practitioner supports.
