About Chanel

Chanel Carlile is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and difficult life changes. She uses clear, practical tools and a warm, down-to-earth approach to help people feel less stuck. Chanel welcomes honest conversation and aims to build a trusting relationship so clients feel seen and understood.

She tailors sessions to each person's needs rather than using one fixed method. That might mean working on skills to reduce panic or worry, talking through grief, or addressing patterns that keep returning.

Background and approach

Chanel draws on Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, while also using cognitive and client-centered ideas to fit the person in front of her. Her background includes both independent practice and community mental health settings, which led to five years of clinical experience.

That mix exposed her to a wide range of concerns, from mood and anxiety disorders to trauma and addiction, and shaped her flexible style of care. Chanel believes the relationship between therapist and client matters most. She focuses on making a genuine, respectful connection and creating a space where people can share all parts of themselves.

Her approach is practical, compassionate, and rooted in helping people find what works in their daily lives. Outside of work she enjoys creative hobbies like collaging and photography, puzzles, and spending time with her dog. Those everyday interests inform a relatable, human approach in sessions.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Chanel directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How approaches like Narrative and ACT work online

Online therapy can use Narrative Therapy to help people retell the stories they carry. In practice this means talking through the narratives that shape daily choices and learning new ways to think about those stories to reduce their hold.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on identifying values and taking small steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. That approach can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching simple, actionable exercises to use between sessions.

Client-centered work brings a supportive, listening-focused stance. The therapist mirrors what matters most to the person and helps them find their own answers rather than imposing solutions.

Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Chanel will work together with clients to decide which approaches fit their goals, personality, and daily life. She adapts techniques so they can be used in short check-ins, longer video conversations, or written exchanges depending on what helps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or when someone prefers writing, and texting-style exchanges can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and practical.
