How Chanel's Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking action that aligns with them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It helps people move toward what matters even when emotions feel heavy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness through concrete exercises and step-by-step skills practice.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Chanel will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. She adjusts methods over time so the plan stays useful and relevant.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week.
