About Rachelle
Rachelle Eldred is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Montana. She holds LPCC and LCPC credentials and brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with sleep or eating.
Rachelle aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people who are ready to make changes. Rachelle adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation. She uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and EMDR when appropriate.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens, helps people name what feels hard, and coaches practical steps for coping and change. Her background includes supporting people through trauma and abuse, grief, caregiving strain, and the challenges that come with chronic illness or major life transitions. She also helps people facing relationship problems, addiction struggles, and issues around attention and mood.
Her experience includes a variety of concerns so she can pull in different tools when needed. Rachelle emphasizes clear, down-to-earth conversation. She works to help people build new habits, reduce intense reactions, and strengthen relationships with themselves and others.
Many clients find focused skills and steady support helpful as they move forward. To begin, she asks about current worries and goals, then shapes a plan together that fits each person's schedule and needs.
Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early connections shape current relationships and emotional reactions. In sessions this looks like talking through relationship patterns and trying small changes that make interactions feel safer and more manageable. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It often includes simple exercises between sessions to reduce anxiety, shift mood, and improve sleep or routines. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories by pairing focused recall with bilateral stimulation; it can help reduce the intensity of painful memories when that approach fits someone’s needs.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about current goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and any practical limits. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, want ongoing brief support, or need flexible timing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
