About Chanel

Chanel Day is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. She emphasizes clear communication and practical tools so clients can use what they learn between sessions. Chanel writes and talks plainly, making therapy feel approachable for people worried about daily life and thinking patterns.

She has eight years of clinical experience across inpatient residential, in-home, and outpatient settings. That background means she has seen many kinds of situations and can draw on different ways of working to match each person's needs. Chanel focuses on helping people notice how thoughts and everyday habits affect mood and behavior, and then build small routines that make a real difference.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions move between talking through recent events and practicing specific skills. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques, mindfulness strategies, motivational interviewing, and psychoeducation to support emotional regulation and stress management.

Chanel aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can build confidence and stronger coping skills. She often breaks down techniques into short, doable steps so they fit into busy lives. Progress is framed as steady work on thoughts, habits, and reactions rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that target thoughts and daily habits

Chanel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that affect mood. CBT is practical and often focuses on short, clear steps you can practice between sessions. She also uses mindfulness-based strategies to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Chanel takes a collaborative stance and will help you test methods that fit your goals and daily routine. If one technique does not feel helpful, she adjusts the plan so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when helpful. It can also let people continue regular work on thoughts and habits from wherever they are, while the therapist and client work together to find the best pace and tools.
