About Rochelle

Rochelle McGhee offers supportive, skill-focused counseling for people coping with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, stress, relationship and family challenges, trauma, grief, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

Rochelle is described by clients as someone who centers respect and collaboration, helping individuals build practical tools to manage emotions, improve communication, and move toward goals. She brings a steady, patient presence while maintaining momentum in the work.

With 18 years of clinical experience, Rochelle practices in Illinois as an LCPC - a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. Her clinical orientation draws from evidence-based techniques that prioritize mindfulness and behavioral skills to reduce distress and address interpersonal problems.

Sessions emphasize concrete strategies for emotion regulation, problem solving, and strengthening self-worth. Rochelle aims to empower clients to feel heard and valued while working together to create a more manageable, meaningful life.

She offers a combination of structured skill-building and individualized support, tailoring methods to each person’s needs and goals. Rochelle maintains regular communication during her scheduled workdays and provides morning and afternoon live appointment times three days per week to accommodate clients' schedules.

Evidence-based approaches for online skill-building

Rochelle commonly uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her online practice. DBT focuses on teaching mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to reduce chronic emotional pain and improve relationships. CBT works by identifying unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with new behaviors to ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders.

She approaches treatment collaboratively, helping clients choose which techniques fit their goals and preferences. Together they assess needs, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on how well approaches are working, so the therapeutic method evolves with the client’s progress.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible and accessible. These options allow people to schedule morning or afternoon appointments on days Rochelle offers live sessions, and to stay connected between meetings through messaging when appropriate. The range of formats supports ongoing skill practice and makes it easier to attend therapy from different settings.
