About Chanel
Chanel Carlile is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in Utah who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and trauma. She focuses on practical tools that reduce distress now while also looking at what drives those problems. Chanel aims to create an authentic connection so clients feel seen and understood from the start.
She spent time in both independent practice and community mental health settings. That variety gave her experience with many concerns, from panic and obsessive behaviors to substance use and mood disorders.
Background and approach
Her five years of practice have shaped a flexible, broad approach rather than a single technique. Chanel blends humanistic and psychodynamic ideas with practical methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness. In sessions she helps people build coping skills, notice patterns that keep problems alive, and practice new behaviors between meetings.
She believes the relationship between client and counselor matters most. Chanel focuses on respectful, honest connection and tailors strategies to each person’s needs and values. She invites clients to bring their full story - strengths, mistakes, worries, and hopes - so therapy can address the whole picture.
Outside of work she enjoys collaging, crossword puzzles, and collecting rocks. She also likes making up little songs for her dog and taking photos of the sky. Those everyday interests inform a down-to-earth style in sessions.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while allowing difficult thoughts to exist. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, panic, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for strong reactions and relationship challenges.Finding the best approach is part of the process. Chanel will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, personality, and daily life. She adapts techniques and pacing based on what a client prefers and what works in real life rather than following a rigid plan.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and learning skills together. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or take shorter, paced steps while practicing new skills. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family schedules.
