How her approaches translate to online therapy

CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes learning emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage intense feelings and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chanel will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend which strategies to try first. She collaborates with each person to adjust the focus as needs change, combining talk-based coaching with hands-on skills practice.
The therapist's biography mentions offering live video and phone sessions, and also describes use of messaging for sharing thoughts.
