About Dorrie
Dorrie Lombardi Chandler is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, and relationship concerns. She draws on 19 years of experience to offer calm, direct support for everyday struggles. Sessions welcome honest conversation and practical steps forward.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens closely and follows each person’s lead. Discussions focus on what matters most now and on small skills that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Dorrie blends several evidence-based approaches to match individual needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She also brings acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.
Clients looking for emotional regulation tools may find dialectical behavior therapy useful in session. Emotionally-focused methods can also help people understand and shift difficult patterns in close relationships. The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person.
Therapy can address specific topics such as ADHD, trauma, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, career stress, or compassion fatigue. Dorrie supports exploration of attachment, abandonment, body image, and forgiveness as part of that broader care. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for the client.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for parenting stress, anxiety, and life transitions when someone wants clearer priorities and steady steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing them with practical exercises; it can help with sleep problems, low mood, and impulsivity through small behavior changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers conversation on the client's perspective, using reflective listening to build trust and confidence during difficult moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what seems to help most, then adapt methods to fit those needs. This collaborative process lets clients try strategies and decide what feels most useful over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler check-in when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when a shorter interaction fits a busy parenting schedule.
