About Chanel

Chanel Bowen is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She focuses on mental health and problematic behaviors, and lists areas such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, ADHD, and blended family issues. Chanel also notes work with eating and sleeping problems, self-esteem, and intimacy-related issues.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in sessions. Those methods are used to teach emotion regulation, stress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. She also references relapse prevention models when addressing addictions and related behaviors.

Chanel incorporates grounding and stress-reduction practices into telehealth sessions when helpful. She is a registered yoga teacher and may guide simple exercises during an appointment to help clients manage tension and anxiety. These are offered as practical tools alongside talk-based work.

Her style emphasizes learning concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Sessions often include skill practice, short exercises, and discussion about how to apply new strategies in daily life. The focus is on making small, usable changes that fit around work and family responsibilities.

For people in blended households, she lists blended family issues among her additional focus areas. That can include navigating role changes, communication with step-parents or co-parents, and adjusting routines. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site flow to start the intake process.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that match personal values while learning new ways to respond to difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, useful when strong emotions get in the way of daily life.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to the client’s goals and preferences. That may mean trying skill practice one week and values-based work the next, then checking what feels most helpful.

The biography notes telehealth video and phone sessions and ongoing message exchanges as part of how she works. Confirm the exact session formats when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow short check-ins when needed, and let skill practice continue between appointments. Therapists generally help plan which techniques will transfer into daily routines so therapy fits around life obligations rather than adding extra strain.
