About Chandra
Chandra Johnson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She sees people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma or abuse, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, and career or life-change challenges.
Chandra uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. She blends these approaches to help people name difficult feelings, notice patterns in relationships, and try new ways of responding. Sessions are conversational and focus on practical steps someone can use between appointments.
Her background includes helping people manage anger, low self-esteem, isolation, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses communication problems, questions of life purpose, and building self-love. Chandra draws on Motivational Interviewing and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when people need clearer decision-making tools or emotion regulation skills.
Chandra emphasizes strengths and lived experience. She encourages straightforward goal-setting and small, achievable changes. People who want clear strategies along with attention to emotional patterns often appreciate this mix.
To begin, she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The process is set up so someone can see what working together feels like and decide the next steps.
How EFT, CBT and DBT translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and patterns in relationships. Online sessions can help people name hard-to-recognize feelings and try new ways of responding in their everyday relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into clear steps and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking. That makes it easy to assign short exercises between appointments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be practiced in brief real-life moments and then discussed in session.Finding the right approach is part of beginning therapy. Chandra works collaboratively to decide whether EFT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing best fits the person’s goals and preferences. She adapts the focus as needs and priorities change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online options can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and reduce travel time. They also let people use mindfulness and behavioral exercises in the settings where problems occur, which can help translate skills into daily life.
