About Rachelle
Rachelle Belott Filipiak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin who uses a blend of approaches to help people facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, and life transitions. She writes plainly and works to make therapy practical and approachable for worried parents and adults alike. She brings five years of varied clinical experience to her work.
Her background includes counseling at a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, a medium-security correctional facility for men, and outpatient mental health settings.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped her skill set and her ability to adapt to different needs. Rachelle takes an interpersonal and holistic stance, combining techniques from attachment-based work, cognitive-behavioral ideas, and client-centered listening. In sessions she helps people identify obstacles, try small changes in thinking and behavior, and build skills to reduce emotional distress.
She uses straightforward goals: reduce upsetting symptoms, improve daily functioning, and increase confidence in managing challenges alone over time. Therapy focuses on practical steps and habits that can be practiced between sessions. Rachelle emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's pace.
She supports parents dealing with stress, relationship concerns, and parenting strain, and she works with people coping with trauma, grief, addictions, and self-esteem issues. Her style is direct, warm, and focused on helping people move from survival toward thriving.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape emotions and expectations. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of connecting and responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests them with practical experiments and behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the person's needs. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and observation of nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or when a shorter touchpoint is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping a consistent course of care.
