About Rachelle
Rachelle Belott Filipiak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who blends practical tools with a relational approach. She draws from several therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. Her style is straightforward and focused on teaching skills people can use outside sessions.
Rachelle earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin–Stout. She developed her skills working in a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, a medium-security correctional facility for men, and in outpatient mental health settings. These varied roles shaped a flexible, person-focused way of working.
In sessions she mixes approaches to match each person’s needs. That can mean using cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, attachment-based ideas to improve important relationships, or emotion-focused strategies to process strong feelings. The aim is to reduce distress and build practical coping skills.
She helps with a wide range of concerns including relationship problems, parenting stress, grief, addictions, eating concerns, ADHD, and coping with illness or chronic pain. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, abandonment, attachment issues, body image, and caregiver stress.
Rachelle frames therapy as a collaborative process. She emphasizes learning tools that let people handle future problems with more confidence. Her background across settings informs a direct, empathetic way of working with many kinds of struggles.
How Rachelle’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in important relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect feelings and behavior. It is useful for people dealing with longing, abandonment concerns, or trouble feeling close to others.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical steps to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachelle collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. She adapts techniques over time so sessions become more useful as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by reducing commute time and allowing sessions from familiar surroundings. It can also make brief check-ins simpler when a shorter conversation is needed or when bandwidth is limited and video is difficult.
