About Dorrie

Dorrie Lombardi Chandler brings a warm, individualized approach to therapy, helping people navigate life’s ups and downs with practical strategies and compassionate support. As an LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she blends empathetic listening with structured techniques to meet clients where they are in their mental health journey.

With 19 years of experience, she works collaboratively to build a trusting, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. She treats a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, stress and burnout, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting and blended family concerns, and issues related to sexuality and identity.

Her clinical toolbox includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), person-centered approaches, and mindfulness-informed strategies. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs, recognizing that each individual is the expert on their own life and experiences.

Dorrie aims to help people leave sessions feeling more competent, more at ease, and better prepared to face challenges. She focuses on practical coping skills and emotional insight so clients can move toward greater confidence, connection, and balance in daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be useful for anxiety, chronic stress, and navigating life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and building a trusting relationship; it emphasizes the person’s own perspective and supports growth through understanding and acceptance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and provides practical tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dorrie collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. The client’s input guides the direction of work so therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from familiar surroundings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver evidence-informed interventions while working closely with clients toward practical, real-world change.
