About Chanel
Chanel Bowen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction-related concerns, relationship and self-esteem problems, and anger. Chanel uses practical coping skills in session and incorporates relapse prevention when relevant.
She offers a straightforward approach that blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with skill-based training. Sessions include learning emotion regulation, stress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Chanel also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients clarify values and take action that fits those values.
Chanel has experience supporting people dealing with trauma, grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and ADHD-related difficulties. She also works with career transitions, compassion fatigue, and the effects of chronic health conditions. Her practice includes attention to attachment concerns and communication or control issues that often show up in relationships.
When relevant, Chanel uses relapse prevention models and DBT skills to address problematic behaviors. She is a registered yoga teacher and can guide simple stress-reduction exercises during telehealth appointments. Sessions aim to teach concrete tools people can use between meetings.
Her stated way of working centers on teaching healthier coping methods and building a firmer foundation for day-to-day functioning. People looking to reduce angry outbursts, manage workplace frustration, or respond differently to resentment may find the focus and skills-based work helpful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It is useful for anger that comes from feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thought patterns and testing them through action and experiments, which often reduces reactive thinking and impulsive responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that help when anger and overwhelm escalate.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide which combination of ACT, CBT, or DBT skills fits your needs. That matching happens collaboratively during the first sessions and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people practice skills between meetings in everyday surroundings. If stress-reduction exercises are helpful, she can guide them during telehealth appointments. Ask about session length and whether phone or video is possible when you schedule.
