About Dorrie
Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 19 years of experience. Dorrie Lombardi Chandler helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and parenting concerns. She also works with issues around LGBT identity, grief, sleep, ADHD, bipolar challenges, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Dorrie uses a mix of practical approaches to guide sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Sessions focus on clear techniques, moment-to-moment listening, and collaborative problem solving rather than jargon or theory.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what feels most urgent. Dorrie prioritizes building trust and making space for difficult topics such as abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency, body image, guilt, shame, impulsivity, and post-traumatic stress. She works with intimacy issues, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns, and boundaries as they come up in people’s lives.
Her approach balances skill-building and emotional processing. That can mean practicing CBT tools for unhelpful thinking, using ACT ideas to clarify values, or working with EFT methods to address relational patterns. DBT strategies may be used for emotional regulation and impulsivity when helpful.
Sessions are organized around the client’s goals and everyday demands. Dorrie emphasizes practical steps that fit into a person’s routine, including parenting supports, career coping strategies, and ways to manage sleep and anger. She offers services in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small action steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skills practice. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood regulation.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) addresses patterns in close relationships by naming feelings and reshaping how people respond to one another. It can help with intimacy and communication struggles.
Dorrie treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. She will help clients decide which methods to try based on their goals and day-to-day needs. This means checking in about what is working and adjusting methods as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, or caregiving. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, use of video or audio depending on comfort, and easier follow-up between sessions when needed.
