Chanel Day is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who focuses on helping people facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, grief, and bipolar-related challenges. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy practical for everyday life. Her style is warm and collaborative so people feel heard from the first session.

Background and approach
Her work often centers on emotional regulation, stress management, and coping with life transitions. Her approach combines evidence-based techniques with mindfulness and motivational strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and SFBT - Solution-Focused Brief Therapy - to set clear, achievable goals.
Trauma-informed practices guide her work with people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events. Sessions include practical tools, psychoeducation, and rehearsal of new behaviors so skills become part of daily routine. Chanel also addresses related concerns such as attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness, communication problems, and codependency.
She tailors plans to each person's needs and pace. People can expect a straightforward, goal-minded process that balances empathy with real-world techniques. Chanel aims to help clients gain confidence, improve coping skills, and manage phobias and other anxiety-related issues more effectively.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Chanel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also uses Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to set small, practical goals and track progress in short steps. Trauma-informed care shapes how she approaches difficult memories, focusing on safety and gradual skill-building.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Chanel will talk with clients about their goals, past experiences, and preferences, then tailor techniques that fit their needs. She adjusts plans as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are useful for more in-depth work where visual cues help, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick coping reminders, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping treatment consistent and goal-focused.
