Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dorrie Lombardi Chandler draws on several practical approaches to support change and healing. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters most; it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and reflection to promote self-exploration and confidence; it can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and developing concrete skills to shift those patterns; it is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and coping with day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dorrie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time to match progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels with communication. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions from different locations, support continuity during life transitions, and allow people to choose the way of connecting that feels most helpful for their situation.
