Chanelle El-Ary, LLMSW | Rochester Hills Therapist & Online Therapy

Hello, and welcome. My name is Chanelle El-Ary, and I'm a Clinical Mental Health Therapist and Limited Licensed Master Social Worker (LLMSW) serving clients in Rochester Hills, MI, and online throughout Michigan. Whatever brought you here — trauma, anxiety, depression, or a life that feels harder to manage than it used to — I want you to know you don't have to sort through it alone.

My Approach

My clinical approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques. I also incorporate person-centered, strength-based, and Christian counseling approaches for clients who want that lens included. I'm passionate about helping clients navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and develop practical tools to create meaningful change — in a space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered.

I believe healing begins with hope. Together, we'll work at your pace toward your personal goals and lasting, positive change.
