About Dorrie
Dorrie Lombardi Chandler is a Florida LMHC with 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and related concerns. She also supports people facing relationship and family issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, and challenges tied to ADHD and bipolar conditions.
She works in a direct, conversational way. Sessions concentrate on clear goals and practical steps. She uses listening and guided discussion to help people notice thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses when it fits the person's needs.
Her approach mixes skills practice with reflective talk. That can include learning new coping strategies, testing unhelpful beliefs, and trying small behavior changes between sessions. She draws on ACT, DBT, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods as appropriate to the concern at hand.
Dorrie treats issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, codependency, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, post-traumatic stress, and sexuality. She also addresses career stress, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related problems.

How her approaches shape online sessions
Online sessions can use methods that focus on thoughts, values, and present-moment skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to shift outcomes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines noticing difficult thoughts with clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, non-directive dialogue where the person sets the pace and topic, which can help people feel heard and make practical decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods to try based on their goals and what feels manageable. That may mean mixing CBT skills practice with ACT exercises or client-centered discussion over several sessions.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or travel. It also allows for shorter check-ins or camera-off conversations when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed. Licensed professionals can help arrange a rhythm of sessions that suits day-to-day life.
