About Chanel
Chanel Carlile is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, trauma, relationship issues, grief, and related concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away to reduce distress and manage triggers.
She combines several evidence-informed approaches to match what each person needs. That can mean looking at unhelpful thoughts and testing them in real life, building skills to tolerate strong emotions, or clarifying personal values and small actions that reflect those values. Chanel emphasizes straightforward techniques you can try between sessions.
Her background includes work in private practice and community mental health settings. That variety has exposed her to a wide range of presentations, from panic and obsessive patterns to mood concerns and co-occurring substance use. She draws on those experiences to offer concrete tools rather than only theories.
Chanel believes the relationship matters most in therapy. She aims to create an open, honest working relationship where clients can talk about what they are struggling with without judgment. She listens for what matters to each person and adjusts her approach based on goals and preferences.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys collaging, crossword puzzles, and spending time with her dog. Those everyday interests shape a down-to-earth style in sessions. If someone wants a therapist who focuses on clear, practical strategies for managing anger and related problems, she may be a fit.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that reflect those values while accepting uncomfortable feelings. It can be useful for anger that comes from feeling stuck or conflicted about choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and testing whether they fit reality, then changing behaviors to reduce escalation. CBT is helpful for patterns of rumination, resentment, and workplace frustration.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chanel treats the first few sessions as a collaboration to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and everyday life. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins on a lunch break or after work. They also let people practice strategies in their everyday settings and bring real-time examples back to sessions for troubleshooting. Therapists and licensed professionals can help clients adapt breathing, grounding, and behavioral experiments to work when stress or anger arises, rather than waiting for an in-person appointment.
