Her credentials - LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) - reflect her professional licensure and clinical training in social work.

She brings three years of experience providing therapy to individuals, groups, and families, supporting people through life transitions, the effects of trauma, and experiences of grief and loss. She has worked with survivors of domestic violence and other forms of abuse, and has extensive experience helping clients manage stress and anxiety. Her practice also addresses concerns such as depression, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, parenting and blended family challenges, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her clinical approach draws on evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), client-centered therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She emphasizes respect for each person's dignity and offers a non-judgmental, attentive listening style that centers the client's experience. Sessions are collaborative, with goals and strategies shaped by the individual’s needs and preferences.

Recognizing that seeking help can feel difficult, she aims to guide clients through their healing and coping processes with empathy and practical skills. She looks forward to working with people ready to take steps toward greater well-being.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where the client leads the pace and direction of work; it helps with self-exploration, relationship concerns, and building self-worth. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Chandra works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays relevant to what the client needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging all make it easier to schedule sessions around daily life and to access support from home. These options help reduce barriers to care and allow the therapeutic work to continue consistently, even when in-person meetings are not possible.
