About Rochelle
Rochelle McGhee is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, mood difficulties, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma, and other concerns listed in her specialties. Rochelle uses practical skills and structured methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and try new responses.
She bases much of her work on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which is a form of cognitive behavior therapy that emphasizes mindfulness and skill-building. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to fit what a person needs. Sessions focus on learning specific tools for managing emotions, reducing distress, and improving communication.
Rochelle describes her style as patient and focused. She aims to help people set concrete goals and practice small changes between sessions. She checks messages during her scheduled workdays and typically replies the same day, or within 24 hours on other days.
Her background includes a master's degree in Clinical Psychology and long experience providing counseling in Illinois. She has worked with people dealing with substance use in the past and integrates approaches to address related issues when they are part of someone's concerns. Rochelle offers morning and afternoon live session times three days per week.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. That helps identify priorities and shapes an initial plan for skill practice and goal setting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rochelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that fit online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses; it helps with anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. DBT emphasizes mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce chronic distress and improve relationships.She treats approach selection as collaborative. During early sessions she will help identify which methods best match a person's goals and preferences. Together they set specific skills to practice between meetings and review how those experiments went.
Details about session formats should be confirmed before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week, easier access to morning or afternoon appointment times, and the ability to join without long travel. Some formats may be shorter check-ins or audio-only options when those suit the person better, but confirm the exact options available when you schedule.
