Rochelle McGhee, LCPC

Rochelle McGhee is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood challenges, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps, making therapy understandable for someone juggling family and work. Rochelle aims to create a respectful, steady space where clients feel heard and able to make real changes.

She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Mindfulness tools are used to improve attention and calm intense emotions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques also guide short-term goals and practical problem solving.

With 18 years of clinical experience, Rochelle has supported people dealing with depression, bipolar mood concerns, panic, trauma, grief, eating struggles, anger, and parenting stress. She also addresses communication problems, shame and guilt, loneliness, and difficulties with forgiveness and self-love.

Her style is patient but focused. She partners with clients to choose approaches that fit each person's needs and goals. Sessions emphasize learning concrete skills, then practicing them between meetings so progress carries into daily life.

Rochelle offers several online session formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. She responds to messages during scheduled workdays and aims to reply the same day when possible, with other replies within about 24 hours. To begin, people follow the platform’s matching steps and schedule a session that fits their timing.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Rochelle often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this involves tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. She also relies on dialectical behavior therapy ideas which teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal skills, and mindfulness to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Rochelle will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and life demands and then tailor techniques accordingly. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving, skills training, or a mix of methods based on what seems most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill demonstrations, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat can suit a quick check-in, and text messaging supports brief ongoing coaching and reminders between sessions. These options give flexibility for morning or afternoon appointments and for keeping momentum between live meetings.
