About Rochelle
Rochelle McGhee is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or sudden panic. She speaks plainly and offers steady, patient guidance to people trying to cope with mood shifts, low self-esteem, relationship strain, or grief. Rochelle believes clients bring strengths and that therapy is a collaborative effort to make life more manageable.
She holds a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and brings 18 years of counseling experience. Rochelle uses a mix of approaches, with a foundation in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, alongside cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. That variety lets her tailor sessions to practical goals like reducing panic symptoms, improving communication, or easing intense emotions.
In sessions she teaches concrete skills for managing thoughts and attention, practices that lower reactivity, and steps for repairing or improving relationships. Her style balances patience with a clear focus on progress so clients leave with tools they can use between appointments. She has worked with people facing trauma, substance concerns, mood disorders, and parenting stress.
Rochelle generally checks messages during workdays and aims to reply the same day when possible, with responses within about 24 hours on other days. She offers morning and afternoon live appointments three days per week. To begin, the process includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on the therapist’s availability.
She works in Illinois and provides services in English. Her practice emphasizes practical skill-building, consistent support, and clear next steps for people working through panic, anxiety, and life changes.
How Rochelle uses proven approaches in online work
Rochelle draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that fuel anxiety and panic. It often involves simple, goal-focused exercises and practice between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes mindfulness and emotion-regulation skills. It teaches short, concrete strategies to reduce intense reactions and to handle interpersonal stress more effectively.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rochelle will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made or goals change.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as the biography describes live morning and afternoon appointments three days per week but does not list other formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when that works better, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or school. Licensed professionals can still teach the same CBT and DBT skills through live sessions, with focus on practicing tools between meetings to reduce panic and manage daily stress.
