About Rochelle
Rochelle McGhee is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with 18 years of experience. She offers a calm, practical approach for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting demands, mood shifts, or relationship stress. Her style is patient and focused, aiming to help clients feel heard and more able to manage day-to-day life.
Rochelle blends skills from several evidence-based approaches to match each person's needs. She emphasizes learning mindfulness and emotion-management tools so clients can respond differently to strong feelings.
Background and approach
She also uses strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and to set small, doable goals. Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, grief, and trauma and abuse. She also helps people with parenting challenges, anger, eating concerns, and career stress.
Communication problems, feeling empty or isolated, guilt and shame, and panic are also within her focus areas. Rochelle takes a collaborative stance in sessions. She treats therapy as a partnership and helps identify what methods will be most useful.
The aim is practical change - building a toolbox of skills and steps that fit daily life. She responds to messages during her scheduled workdays and generally replies within the same day, or within 24 hours on other days.
Her live appointment times include morning and afternoon slots three days each week, and she uses a mix of session formats to fit different needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Rochelle commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood by practicing new ways of thinking. DBT emphasizes mindfulness and emotion regulation skills to help people tolerate intense feelings and improve how they relate to others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, struggles, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. They adjust the plan as progress is made so the work stays useful and practical.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and role play. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, homework support, or when clients prefer written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and other daily demands.
