About Chanel
Chanel Day is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients feel heard. Her aim is to help people find practical steps they can use between sessions.
Chanel has eight years of clinical experience in a range of settings. She has worked in inpatient residential programs, provided in-home therapy, and supported people in outpatient clinics in New York.
Background and approach
That mix of settings means she is comfortable moving between short-term problem solving and longer-term skill building. Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions often include talking through recent challenges, learning coping skills, and practicing small behavioral changes that add up over time.
She uses mindfulness practices and tools that help with emotional regulation and stress management. Chanel draws on evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. She also uses trauma-informed approaches and motivational interviewing to support readiness for change.
Psychoeducation is offered so clients better understand symptoms and treatment options. People who want clear steps, short-term focus work, or ongoing support for mood and anxiety find this approach practical. Chanel helps clients set goals, track progress, and adapt strategies as life changes.
She works in English and practices as an LMHC in New York.
Evidence-based techniques for online care
Chanel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy in her online work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy focuses on practical steps and strengths to move toward clear short-term goals.She also applies trauma-informed methods and motivational interviewing when relevant. These approaches help people process difficult experiences and build readiness for change. Chanel will work together with each client to decide which combination of techniques fits their needs and goals, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, or times when writing feels more comfortable. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care across locations.
