About Chandra
Chandra Betts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, parenting challenges, and trauma. She focuses on practical help for day-to-day struggles and life changes. Chandra works with adults coping with mood disorders, ADHD, caregiving strain, and the effects of discrimination and domestic violence.
Chandra uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. She listens without judgment and helps build small, concrete steps clients can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in clinical social work and experience across individual and group settings, which shapes a flexible approach to problems. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills help with strong emotions and impulsivity, while motivational interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck. Mindfulness practices are offered to help reduce reactivity and improve focus when stress feels overwhelming. Chandra also draws on a client-centered stance, which means the client’s goals guide the work and she adapts methods to fit each person’s needs.
She has three years of formal therapy experience as a licensed clinician in North Carolina. People reach out for help with blended family stress, caregiver burnout, seasonal mood shifts, intimacy concerns, and young adult transitions. Chandra helps people set realistic goals, try new coping strategies, and track small wins along the way.

How Chandra’s Approaches Work Online
Chandra often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and manage strong emotions. CBT focuses on spotting thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and replacing them with practical experiments. DBT teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that reduce impulsive reactions and support steadier relationships.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chandra will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which skills or exercises feel most helpful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
