About Rachelle
Rachelle Belott Filipiak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. She holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. Rachelle lists family and parenting among her focus areas and works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, grief, eating issues, and parenting strain.
Her early work included roles in a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, and a medium-security correctional facility for men. She has also provided outpatient mental health services across age groups and presenting problems. Those settings shaped a practical style that looks at how daily life, relationships, and past experiences affect feelings and behavior.
Rachelle blends several approaches rather than using one fixed method. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centered listening to follow the person’s lead, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also incorporates elements from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused therapy when they fit the situation.
In a typical session she focuses on identifying obstacles and learning specific skills to reduce distress. She emphasizes clear, manageable steps people can use outside of sessions. She also pays attention to how attachment and family history influence current conflicts and parenting concerns.
Her style is practical and interpersonal. She aims to help people build confidence in handling problems on their own over time. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients; confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. Online sessions using this lens focus on identifying recurring interaction cycles and practicing new ways to relate that reduce conflict and anxiety. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s perspective and uses reflective listening to help people clarify goals and feel understood; online meetings allow that kind of focused conversation across distance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced ones; in remote sessions this often includes concrete homework and brief skill practice between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, current struggles, and preferences, and then suggest which approaches to emphasize. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to try CBT strategies, attachment work, or a mix of methods based on what fits the situation.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days by reducing travel time, letting someone join from a quieter spot, or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also support consistent follow-up and homework review, which is useful for practicing new skills between meetings.
