Rochelle McGhee, LCPC

Rochelle McGhee is a licensed clinical professional counselor with a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology and 18 years of clinical experience supporting adults through life’s challenges. She holds the LCPC credential, which denotes licensure to provide professional counseling in Illinois, and she earned certification as a certified alcohol and drug counselor (CADC) in 2018 to better assist people addressing substance use concerns.

Her therapeutic work integrates several modalities, with an overall orientation grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy - a skills-based form of cognitive behavior therapy that emphasizes mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Rochelle blends DBT with other evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person’s needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral tools, motivational interviewing techniques, and solution-focused strategies as appropriate. She has supported individuals coping with anxiety, depression, bipolar and other mood disorders, panic attacks, trauma and abuse, grief, eating concerns, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, career stress, and issues around self-esteem, isolation, and forgiveness.

Her style centers on respect for each person’s capacity to grow, combining patience with a focused effort to help clients meet their goals. Rochelle aims to respond to messages during scheduled workdays on the same day when possible and within 24 hours otherwise. She maintains morning and afternoon appointment blocks three days per week, and she approaches therapy as a collaborative partnership intended to create a more manageable and meaningful life.
