Background and approach
Sessions are grounded in real problems and real-life solutions. Her background includes work in hospitals, outpatient clinics, psychiatric settings, substance use treatment, special education schools, and geriatric home visits. That range gives her familiarity with community resources and how different systems work.
She draws on that experience to connect people with help beyond therapy when needed. Rochelle uses a problem-solving approach in session. She combines client-centered care with cognitive techniques and mindfulness to build coping skills.
For relationship or intimacy issues she uses emotionally focused and Imago methods to improve communication and connection. People who choose her can expect straightforward talk, organized plans, and steady support. She helps people break big issues into small steps they can try between sessions.
Her style aims to reduce overwhelm and increase confidence in everyday life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace to clarify goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches simple skills to shift them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and express their emotions and is often used when connection or intimacy is a concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rochelle will talk with each person about their needs and goals and suggest ways to combine these approaches. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy gives options that fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, brief coaching, or ongoing encouragement between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
