Chanel Carlile, LCMHC

Chanel Carlile is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with five years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship issues, grief, anger, bipolar symptoms, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.

Carlile keeps sessions practical. She focuses on short-term tools to reduce immediate distress while also looking at what drives ongoing problems. She mixes evidence-based techniques with a person-centered stance so therapy responds to how someone prefers to work.

Her background includes work in private practice and community mental health settings. That mix exposed her to a wide range of concerns, from panic and OCD to co-occurring substance use and mental health issues. She says that variety helped her gain flexible clinical skills.

In session she uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness, and client-centered work. The aim is to offer clear skills people can practice between appointments and to explore the beliefs and patterns that feed persistent anger or anxiety.

Carlile values an authentic working relationship. She describes therapy as a place to be fully known without judgment and to try new ways of reacting and relating. Outside of work she enjoys collaging, crossword puzzles, collecting rocks, and spending time with her dog.
