About Chandra
Chandra Dockery is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and relationship concerns. She also addresses issues such as addiction, trauma and grief.
Her view is that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. She focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Sessions look at thoughts, habits and small behavior changes that can reduce distress.
Chandra draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going. She pairs that with client-centered methods that let the person set priorities. When useful, she adds psychodynamic ideas to look at life themes that repeat over time.
People often come for help with sleeping, eating, anger, parenting strain, career shifts or coping with chronic illness. She also helps with intimacy concerns, attention difficulties, panic, and midlife stressors. Work can include short-term problem solving or longer work on deeper patterns.
Her style is organized and practical. She will outline goals, try specific strategies, and check what helps. New clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to get started.
How her approaches translate to online work
Chandra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include short practical exercises, thought records and behavioral experiments that people can do between meetings to test what helps.She also uses client-centered methods that emphasize the person’s priorities and perspectives. That approach supports setting goals and choosing which problems to tackle first. Psychodynamic ideas may be used to notice recurring life patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps shape session plans and homework tasks.
