About Chanel
Chanel Carlile is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah. She focuses on helping people reduce anxiety and manage mood challenges. Chanel aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where clients feel seen and heard.
She uses practical tools to reduce immediate distress while also looking at what drives recurring problems. Chanel draws on several approaches to build a plan that fits each person’s needs and values.
How Chanel works
Therapy is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all. Her five years of clinical work span independent practice and community mental health settings. That variety has given experience with concerns such as trauma, addictions, panic, obsessive thoughts, and co-occurring mental health and substance use issues.
Chanel describes herself as a well-rounded counselor because of that breadth. Connection matters most in her view. Chanel prioritizes building an authentic, caring relationship so clients feel understood.
She welcomes the whole person and treats strengths, struggles, and messy parts as meaningful pieces of a bigger story. Outside of sessions she enjoys simple creative pastimes like collaging and crossword puzzles. She collects rocks, makes up songs for her dog, and often stays up later than she intends.
Those everyday details shape how she relates to people in therapy.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches delivered online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people live in line with their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anxiety, low mood, or avoidance keep someone from the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and sensations, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chanel will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That process may combine elements from different approaches to match what helps most in practice.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity when life changes occur.
