About Chanel

Chanel Day is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and bipolar-related concerns. She writes clearly and listens closely so clients feel heard and understood from the start. Chanel aims to make therapy practical and approachable for everyday life.

She brings eight years of clinical experience across inpatient residential, in-home, and outpatient settings. That background means she is used to working with different kinds of challenges and everyday obstacles. Chanel focuses on teaching concrete skills that clients can use between sessions to handle intense feelings and difficult situations.

Her style is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. Sessions tend to mix talking through experiences with hands-on strategies like coping skills, mindfulness practices, and clear psychoeducation. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find the reasons they want change.

Chanel makes space for conversations about attachment and abandonment, communication and control issues, body image, chronic illness, and concerns related to autism and personality differences. She also supports people navigating grief, life transitions, blended family questions, and sexual culture topics such as kink and BDSM.

Located in New York, she draws on evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, trauma-informed methods, and mindfulness to help people build resilience and steady routines. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Chanel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-informed practices. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness-based strategies teach simple attention and breathing exercises that support emotional regulation and stress management.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy techniques to set practical goals and find immediate steps clients can try between sessions. These approaches suit problems like panic, mood shifts, grief, and trauma aftercare by focusing on usable tools rather than abstract theory.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Chanel works with each person to see what fits their goals, preferences, and life demands, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. Clients and the therapist review what helps and change course when needed.

Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, avoid travel time, and keep appointments consistent across routines. It also lets people try shorter check-ins or video work when that suits their schedule and energy, helping therapy stay practical and usable in everyday life.
