Rachelle Belott Filipiak , LPC

Rachelle Belott Filipiak brings a diverse clinical background to her counseling practice, grounded in a master of science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. She has honed her skills across a range of settings, including work in a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, a medium-security correctional facility for men, and outpatient services for people of all ages and concerns. These varied experiences inform a flexible and experienced approach to care.

She practices from a modern, holistic, and interpersonal perspective, blending techniques from different theories to suit each person's unique situation. Rachelle holds the LPC credential - Licensed Professional Counselor - and uses that training to help clients identify barriers, shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and reduce emotional distress. Her therapeutic aim is to equip people with practical skills so they can manage future challenges independently of ongoing professional support.

Rachelle emphasizes empowerment and practical change, offering a calm and supportive presence as clients work toward clearer goals. She is prepared to assist with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, depression, addictions, grief, parenting, ADHD, and many other life challenges, helping clients move from survival toward a greater sense of well-being.

Approach-Focused Online Care with Rachelle

Rachelle draws from several established therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current relationship patterns and emotional responses, helping people address issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relational conflict. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic stance in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client's own goals and self-discovery, useful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachelle works collaboratively with clients to clarify needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts methods so treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single model. This ongoing collaboration helps ensure the work feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for scheduling and access. Clients can connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in therapy from different locations and in formats that suit their routines. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
