About Rachelle
Rachelle Belott Filipiak uses a blend of relational and skills-based therapies to help people through hard times. She is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - with five years of clinical experience. Rachelle speaks plain, practical language and focuses on real, usable change rather than jargon-filled sessions.
She frames therapy around attachment and relationships while adding cognitive and behavioral tools when helpful. That means she pays attention to how people connect with others and also teaches strategies to manage thoughts, moods, and reactions.
How Rachelle works
Sessions are collaborative and aimed at small, achievable steps. Her background includes work in a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, a medium-security correctional facility for men, and outpatient mental health settings. Those roles shaped her ability to work with a wide range of concerns, from trauma and addiction to stress and life transitions.
Rachelle often helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, eating and body image issues, anger, and parenting stress. She also supports people facing relationship and attachment struggles, ADHD, adoption and foster care questions, and chronic illness or caregiver strain. Her approach mixes Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to fit each person’s needs.
She encourages learning skills that reduce distress and build confidence to manage problems independently over time.

Online support options
Attachment and skills-based approaches for online care
Rachelle commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationships shape emotions and behavior, helping people notice patterns in connections and feel less overwhelmed by relationship stress. She also brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to sessions to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice more helpful thinking and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas may also appear when the focus is on deepening emotional awareness and improving how someone expresses needs to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted as progress is made so the plan fits each person’s life and pace.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief contact between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
