    About Chanel

    Chanel Carlile is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah. She focuses on helping people reduce anxiety and manage mood difficulties with practical strategies that fit each person's life.

    Carlile draws from Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and dialectical behavior techniques. She aims to build a genuine connection first, then tailor techniques to a person’s values and daily routines. Sessions typically mix skill-building with conversations that look at what’s driving distress.

    Her background includes work in both private practice and community mental health settings. That variety has given her experience with panic, obsessive-compulsive concerns, trauma, addiction, and co-occurring mental health and substance use issues. She emphasizes straightforward tools to relieve immediate symptoms while exploring longer-term patterns.

    Therapy with Carlile centers on a respectful, humanistic stance. She encourages people to bring their whole selves to sessions - strengths, fears, and the messy parts. Her goal is to help clients feel seen and to co-create practical steps that match their values.

    Outside of work she enjoys collaging, crossword puzzles, and collecting rocks. She writes little songs for her dog and admits to being a proud procrastinator. Those personal details influence her approachable and down-to-earth style in therapy.

  2. How her approaches translate to online sessions

    Many of her methods are straightforward to use in an online setting. Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find and strengthen their own reasons for change by listening carefully and asking reflective questions. It can help when motivation feels stuck, such as with substance use or habit change.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying values and learning to act in ways that matter despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It often includes simple exercises to notice thoughts and choose value-driven steps. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathy and respect, creating space for someone to feel heard and to explore their experience at their own pace.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation usually starts in early sessions and can shift over time based on what helps most.

    If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue care without long travel. The therapist will help match the approach and schedule to everyday life and commitments.
