About Chandra
Chandra Dockery is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, practicing in Illinois with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, depression, anxiety, and challenges like addiction or relationship strain. Her approach treats clients as the experts on their lives while offering guidance to move forward.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Chandra listens first, then helps clients set clear, short-term goals. She uses familiar tools and conversation to help people change unhelpful patterns and build on what already works for them.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a calm, direct style that balances problem-solving with time to reflect. Chandra draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thought patterns and solution-focused techniques to create actionable steps.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across mood disorders, trauma, grief, and life transitions. Chandra has supported people facing issues such as bipolar disorder, panic, sleep or eating problems, and caregiving or career stress. She also helps with concerns around intimacy, parenting challenges, ADHD, and chronic health conditions.
Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Chandra understands starting therapy can feel hard, and she aims to make the process manageable and goal oriented. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches that guide online care
Chandra integrates client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to support online work. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to each person, helping build trust and a clear direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical ways to shift them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit those aims. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques and adjust them if something does not feel helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, homework, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other life demands.
