About Rachelle
Rachelle Anderson is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings 27 years of clinical experience to her work in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship concerns. Her approach is calm and practical, aimed at small changes that make daily life easier.
She combines several evidence-based methods to match each person's needs. Rachelle uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Background and approach
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take meaningful steps toward them. In sessions she listens first, then builds simple, achievable plans. Many clients work on communication skills, coping with life changes, or improving self-esteem.
She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction concerns, bipolar mood patterns, and parenting stress. Rachelle has worked with a wide range of issues over her career, including ADHD, body image, attachment challenges, and eating-related problems. She helps people navigate adoption or foster care questions, caregiver stress, and divorce or separation adjustments.
Her style is practical and person-centered. She focuses on what the person wants to change and uses short-term strategies alongside deeper emotional work. That mix aims to reduce immediate distress while building long-term tools for resilience.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings appear. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where motivation and meaning matter.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and habits that get in the way of daily functioning.
Rachelle treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is to find a mix of strategies that feel useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video visits allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written exchanges, quick updates, or more frequent brief contact between longer sessions.
