Chandra Lowe, LMSW - Therapist in Michigan

About Chandra

Chandra Lowe is a licensed social worker who focuses on families and parenting. She speaks plainly and listens carefully. Parents find her calm and practical when they bring worries about relationships, behavior, or major life changes.

She uses a warm, interactive style in sessions. Chandra helps parents set realistic goals and build better communication at home. She emphasizes strengths and works with families to create small, doable changes that reduce stress.

Background and approach

Chandra brings about 20 years of experience working in a range of settings with individuals, couples, children, and families. Her work covers common family concerns such as divorce and separation, blended family issues, adoption and foster care, and fertility-related stress. She also addresses self-esteem, trauma and abuse, anger, and career-related worries.

Her methods include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Imago relationship therapy, and mindfulness techniques. In practice this means listening first, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, teaching emotion regulation skills, and improving how partners talk and reconnect. Chandra keeps the process collaborative.

She asks questions, offers tools, and adjusts approaches to each family’s needs. The goal is practical support that helps families communicate, manage change, and find more balance at home.

Approaches that translate to online family work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping families name their goals. In practical terms this means sessions begin with the therapist asking questions and reflecting back concerns so parents and partners feel understood and heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and everyday parenting stress because it gives clear tools to test and change patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills into family life. These techniques help when anger or strong emotions make communication difficult and families need steady ways to respond in heated moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each family to choose and adapt methods based on goals, preferences, and practical needs. That might mean mixing listening-centered work with concrete CBT or DBT skill-building over several sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let therapists observe interactions and coach communication in real time, while phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can fit short check-ins or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule help around childcare, work, and school commitments.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
