How these approaches translate to online therapy
Chanell draws on Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves. That approach looks at how past events shaped those stories and supports rewriting them in ways that feel more useful and accurate. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward what matters. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical strategies for staying engaged with values. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chanell treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help figure out what fits your needs and goals. She adjusts tools and pace as you try things and give feedback. Online formats offer flexibility for different rhythms and needs. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversational experience, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let you check in more often, fit therapy into shorter breaks, and use written notes or voice messages when that feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent with your schedule.Common questions about this listing
