About Chanel

Chanel Day is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with eight years of experience. She works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. Chanel’s practice description includes a wide range of related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, chronic illness, and communication problems.

She has worked in inpatient residential settings, in-home therapy, and outpatient clinics. That variety shaped how she helps people: short, clear conversations that lead to practical next steps. Sessions often focus on learning skills for emotional regulation, managing stress, and coping with difficult feelings tied to relationships or life changes.

Chanel uses proven therapeutic tools to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is used to identify small, achievable steps forward. Trauma-informed practices and mindfulness techniques help people manage strong emotions and stay grounded.

Her style is collaborative and client-centered. Clients work on concrete skills they can use between sessions, such as grounding, communication techniques, and problem-solving strategies. Psychoeducation and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox to support behavior change and clearer decision-making.

Chanel’s background across settings means she draws on different methods depending on the situation. She encourages straightforward goals and short-term plans alongside deeper work when needed. People who want practical skills for handling guilt, shame, or ongoing worry may find this approach clear and focused.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Chanel commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-informed strategies. CBT helps people identify patterns of thinking that feed guilt or anxiety and then try new, small experiments to test different beliefs. Mindfulness-based techniques teach short, practical ways to notice strong feelings and reduce reactivity so daily life becomes more manageable.

She also uses brief, goal-focused methods that look for immediate next steps. These techniques emphasize setting small, practical goals and tracking what changes between sessions. Choosing the right mix of methods is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which approaches fit the client’s needs, goals, and comfort level.

Confirm the precise session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Many people find online options help fit therapy into daily routines, for example making it easier to have shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoid travel time, or use phone sessions when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices to remote appointments so work done in sessions can be practiced during the week.
