About Chanel
Chanel Bowen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with 11 years of experience. She practices from North Carolina and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction-related struggles, and mood concerns. Chanel uses clear, practical steps to help clients build better coping skills and healthier habits.
She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive-behavioral techniques to teach concrete skills for handling difficult thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs. Chanel integrates attachment-focused ideas to notice how close relationships shape behavior and feelings. She offers tools for emotion regulation, communication, and relapse prevention when habits or substance use are concerns.
Conversations aim to identify small changes that add up over time. As a registered yoga teacher, she sometimes offers breathing and stress-reduction exercises during telehealth meetings. Those practices are optional and offered as tools to reduce tension and increase calm between sessions.
She provides live video and phone sessions and responds to messages during weekdays. Messaging can be used to share progress and questions between appointments. The focus is on steady, manageable steps toward feeling more stable and able to cope.

Online session options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Chanel uses Narrative Therapy to help clients notice the stories that shape their choices and then try out new, more helpful narratives. This approach can be useful for people wrestling with identity, shame, or repeated patterns that feel stuck.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while taking actions that match their values. ACT is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life changes when someone wants tools to move forward despite uncomfortable emotions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Chanel collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messages let clients share thoughts between appointments. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit around work, caregiving, and day-to-day life.
