About Chandler

She speaks English and practices in North Carolina as an LCMHC. Chandler centers sessions on the person in front of her. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
How Chandler works
Sessions are practical and paced to what the client needs. She uses straightforward tools to help people manage feelings and make changes. Her approach draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness.
Those methods mean conversations that focus on what matters to the client, skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and simple mindfulness practices to reduce stress. Chandler adapts techniques to everyday life so clients can try them between sessions.
She has worked with concerns such as adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, control issues, and isolation. She also supports people dealing with grief, hospice and end-of-life topics, guilt, shame, jealousy, and recovery after disasters. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client's needs. Chandler focuses on clear steps and small goals to help people move forward.

How Chandler's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy puts the client's priorities first and focuses on listening, reflection, and building on existing strengths. This approach helps people clarify what matters most and find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Mindfulness therapy offers simple practices to bring attention to the present moment, which can lower reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Chandler collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Together they try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and guided exercises, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates between sessions. These options make therapy flexible for busy schedules and varying needs, allowing consistent progress without requiring in-person visits.
