About Dorrie
Dorrie Lombardi Chandler is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress and anxiety. She listens with empathy and offers straightforward support for everyday struggles. Her approach aims to make difficult moments easier to manage right away.
She uses gentle, person-centered conversations to build trust. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and move at a comfortable pace. Dorrie treats anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, burnout, self-esteem issues, and common relationship concerns.
Background and approach
Her work blends practical tools with emotional understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and shift patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people notice values and take small steps toward them.
Sessions also draw on dialectical behavior skills for managing big emotions and Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for improving connection in close relationships. Dorrie adapts methods to each person rather than following a single script. She views clients as the experts on their own lives and tailors conversations and plans accordingly.
With 19 years of experience, she aims for clear, doable goals that fit daily life. People who work with her often focus on better sleep, calmer reactions, clearer boundaries, and healthier communication. Dorrie expects progress to come in small, steady changes and supports people through setbacks and wins.
How online approaches help with anxiety and life stress
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior in small steps to reduce symptoms like worry or sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when strong feelings get in the way.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their goals and daily routine. Together they will adjust tools and pacing so the plan feels manageable and relevant.
Online therapy provides several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when schedules or travel make in-person meetings hard. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates or process thoughts between sessions and can fit into busy days. These formats offer flexibility and consistent access to a licensed professional while adapting the work to real life.
