About Chanel
LCMHC in Utah with five years of clinical experience, Chanel Carlile focuses on anxiety and mood concerns and broader issues such as trauma, addiction, and grief. She uses practical tools to reduce distress and pays attention to what drives ongoing problems.
Carlile describes therapy as a place to learn useful skills while also looking at deeper patterns. She combines humanistic and psychodynamic foundations with approaches drawn from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness therapy. Sessions aim to balance immediate symptom relief with work on underlying causes.
Her background includes work in private practice and community mental health settings. That variety exposed her to many presentations, from panic and obsessive-compulsive symptoms to personality and psychotic disorders. She says this range helped her become a clinician who can adapt methods to different situations.
Chanel emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship. She values straightforward, respectful connection and wants to hear about the full range of a person's experiences and feelings. Her style is direct and person-focused rather than relying on any single method as the only solution.
Outside of clinical work she enjoys collaging, crossword puzzles, collecting rocks, and making up songs for her dog. Those hobbies are a reminder that everyday life matters alongside formal therapy work.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take action despite difficult thoughts. It focuses on values-based steps and can help with anxiety, depression, and stuck patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies for changing unhelpful patterns. It is often used for panic, OCD, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and help manage strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chanel will discuss goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit the person's situation. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to travel. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use virtual sessions to practice CBT skills, guide mindfulness exercises, or coach through ACT-based steps in real time, but check which specific formats this clinician provides before scheduling.
