About Chandra
Chandra Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and issues around intimacy and parenting. She also focuses on life purpose, communication problems, isolation and self-esteem struggles.
Chandra uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness practices to help people manage difficult emotions and respond differently to old patterns. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused ideas also appear when clients want concrete steps toward change.
In a typical session she helps clients notice what keeps them stuck and practices small, practical changes. That can mean trying short behavioral experiments, working on emotion regulation skills, or practicing clearer communication. She pays attention to grief, compassion fatigue, and the long-term effects of trauma while keeping conversations goal-oriented.
Chandra encourages people to explore purpose and next steps after big life changes. Conversations often cover career uncertainty, relationship shifts, and the strain of caregiving or burnout. She invites clients to identify values and test small actions that fit everyday life.
Her style is direct and collaborative. Sessions are aimed at building specific skills for coping and decision-making, while also acknowledging the emotional weight of hard experiences.
Approaches used in online sessions
Chandra frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on noticing emotions and bodily sensations to reduce reactivity and improve present-moment coping.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance to manage intense feelings. DBT-based techniques can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone needs concrete ways to avoid impulsive actions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chandra collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful in sessions.
