About Chanel

Chanel Bowen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who brings 11 years of clinical experience to her practice. She works from North Carolina and focuses on helping people improve mental health and reduce harmful behaviors. Chanel uses clear, practical tools so clients can build better daily routines and feel steadier.

She often uses telehealth formats and offers multiple ways to connect. Chanel tailors sessions to each person’s situation.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, stress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas and attachment-based perspectives when they fit the client’s needs.

Her work includes support for stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and identity concerns. Chanel also addresses eating and sleeping struggles, career stress, ADHD, and complex grief or trauma responses. She names practical goals and teaches skills to use between sessions.

Chanel can guide clients through breath and grounding exercises during telehealth visits, drawing on her training as a registered yoga teacher. Those tools are offered as options to help manage anxiety and physical tension in the moment. Sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Chanel encourages a collaborative approach where goals and methods are decided together.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where values-driven action is important.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thinking patterns that lead to distress and teaches practical steps to change those thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and coping with life changes.

Chanel treats finding the right approach as a collaboration. She listens to what matters to the client, explains options, and suggests methods that match the person’s goals and preferences. Together they try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging provide ongoing ways to share thoughts between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to practice skills in real time.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
