Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Chanel Bowen uses therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work and focus on practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns by teaching concrete strategies for managing symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - skills that support people coping with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulsive behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, helping clients improve trust, intimacy, and communication in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chanel will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then tailor techniques from these models to fit what will be most helpful. This collaborative selection helps ensure therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions over video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care during transitions, and use a mix of real-time sessions and ongoing messaging to reinforce skills between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skills training to these formats so clients receive practical, consistent support.
