Background and approach
That mix is chosen to match each person’s needs rather than sticking to a single formula. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, learning new ways to cope, and building skills to handle triggers and strong emotions. Her background includes time at a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, a medium-security correctional facility for men, and outpatient mental health services.
Those roles shaped a practical style that emphasizes clear, teachable steps and real-life problem solving. Rachelle aims to help people become more confident managing daily challenges. Typical concerns she addresses include relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, grief, addictions, eating issues, ADHD, and body image.
She also works with people facing illness, caregiving burdens, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, and communication problems. Rachelle earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and holds the LPC credential in Wisconsin. She offers sessions in English and is available to work with international clients through online formats.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online healing and skill-building
Rachelle often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions and to help people build safer, more supportive connections. That approach is useful for relationship strain, attachment issues, and patterns that repeat in family life.She also relies on client-centered methods that focus on listening and responding to each person's goals. This creates a collaborative space where the person sets priorities and the therapist follows and reflects what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used alongside these approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and to teach concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachelle will talk with clients about their needs and preferences and try methods that fit their goals. The process is collaborative and adjustments are expected as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful when visual cues matter, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or care responsibilities while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
