About Chandler

She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. Chandler helps people who are worn down by daily demands and relationship tensions at home.
She uses straightforward, conversational methods. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that make a difference. Chandler listens for practical patterns that keep problems repeating and works with clients to try new ways of responding.
Her background includes supporting people navigating adoption and foster care issues, blended family tensions, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and communication problems. She also has experience with autism spectrum concerns, first responder stress, end-of-life and hospice situations, and coping with loss or major life strain.
Chandler draws on client-centered therapy to honor each person’s perspective. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage physical and emotional reactions.
Her approach is practical and respectful. Conversations include goal setting, skill practice, and review of what helped between sessions. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the therapist’s online booking flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Chandler uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening to the client’s story and shaping sessions around their priorities and strengths. This approach helps people clarify what matters most and decide what to try next.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on method that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns that affect daily life.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help reduce reactivity and improve attention to the present moment. Simple breathing or attention practices are introduced and then reviewed in follow-up sessions to see what helps.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Chandler will work with each person to match methods to their goals and daily realities. Clients and the therapist review what’s working and adjust tools and exercises over time.
