About Chandra

Chandra Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, anger, and other life changes. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse and those managing compassion fatigue and bipolar concerns.

Chandra blends practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with emotionally focused work and mindfulness. Sessions focus on clear skills you can use right away - thinking patterns, emotion regulation, grounding, and communication habits. She uses motivational interviewing to help people find what matters to them and move toward it.

Her approach treats a client as the expert on their own life while offering structure and observable steps. Conversations often include short experiments between sessions and skills practice to test what works. That keeps progress concrete and measurable rather than vague.

She also pays attention to relationship patterns and intimacy-related concerns, helping people talk through communication problems and isolation. Parenting stress and career strain are common topics she addresses in session. The work aims to reduce reactivity and build clearer ways of responding.

People who come for anger concerns can expect direct skill coaching along with attention to underlying issues like grief, trauma, or chronic stress. The emphasis is on practical strategies that fit into everyday life and steady behavioral change.

How sessions work

How Chandra brings CBT, DBT and EFT to online work

Chandra uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. That makes it easier to change reactions like snapping or brooding. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, which can be helpful when anger feels overwhelming or when stress spikes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to look at patterns in relationships and closeness. That approach helps people name what they feel and practice clearer ways of asking for needs to be met. Chandra usually mixes these approaches rather than relying on a single method, and she works with clients to decide what fits their goals and daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick techniques and pacing that match their goals, preferences, and stressors. This is a joint process that can shift as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports doing skill practice between sessions and bringing real-life situations into conversation for immediate problem-solving.
