Rochelle McGhee , LCPC

Rochelle McGhee is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and 18 years of clinical experience. She also earned a certification in 2018 to assist people addressing alcohol and substance use concerns - CADC. Rochelle blends structured therapeutic methods with a patient, respectful stance that supports clients as active partners in setting and meeting goals.

Her work is informed primarily by the principles of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a form of cognitive behavioral therapy that emphasizes mindfulness and practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing chronic distress. She draws on additional approaches as needed to tailor care to each person’s needs, helping clients build a toolbox of coping strategies for depression, anxiety, mood disorders, panic, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, parenting challenges, anger, and related issues such as guilt, shame, and isolation.

Rochelle aims to create a collaborative environment that honors each client’s strengths and capacity for growth. She balances a steady, focused style with warmth, working to help people feel heard, empowered, and respected as they pursue a more manageable and meaningful life. She checks messages throughout the day as her schedule allows - when contacted on her scheduled workdays she generally seeks to respond the same day, and on other days responses may take up to 24 hours. She offers morning and afternoon live session appointments three days per week. Rochelle is not accepting new clients at this time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rochelle emphasizes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work - a skills-based, cognitive behavioral approach that teaches mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing chronic stress.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic. Mindfulness therapy is woven into her practice as well, offering simple attention-training and acceptance practices that support stress reduction and clearer decision-making.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rochelle works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges, then shapes a plan that fits those needs. She adapts techniques over time as clients learn what works best for them.

Online therapy with Rochelle can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapeutic work into a busy life while still receiving guidance from a licensed professional.
