About Rochelle McGhee

Rochelle McGhee is a licensed counselor with a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology who encourages people to take the first step toward their well-being. She practices as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois and brings over 15 years of experience delivering counseling services. In 2018 she earned a CADC certification to support individuals working through alcohol and substance use concerns.

Her work draws on several therapeutic methods tailored to each person’s needs, with a foundation in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that emphasizes building mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. She helps clients develop practical skills to manage overwhelming emotions, navigate relationship conflicts, and reduce persistent distress. Rochelle has supported people facing depression, anxiety, family and relationship conflicts, trauma, and difficulties around forgiveness.

Her style combines steady patience with purposeful focus, grounded in respect for each client’s capacity to grow and meet goals. She aims to help clients feel heard, valued, and empowered, collaborating as partners to create a life that feels manageable and meaningful. Rochelle monitors messages throughout her scheduled workdays and strives to respond the same day when possible, with responses taking up to 24 hours on other days. She offers morning and afternoon live appointments three days per week and is available to support clients as they begin their work toward change.

DBT, Mindfulness, and Remote Therapeutic Support

Rochelle McGhee often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which focuses on teaching practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. DBT blends structured skill-building with attention to the present moment to help people reduce chronic emotional pain and respond more effectively to life’s challenges.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy techniques that train attention and awareness. Mindfulness practices help clients observe thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and improving focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) influences her work as well, offering strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to depression and anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rochelle works with clients to explore what feels most helpful based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. Online therapy with a licensed professional can offer practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and access consistent support from where the client is located.
