About Rachelle
Rachelle Belott Filipiak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. She earned a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and has worked in a range of settings. Rachelle helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and other life changes.
Her background includes time at a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, a medium-security correctional facility for men, and outpatient mental health services. Those placements shaped how she listens and responds to different needs. She uses practical strategies drawn from several approaches rather than sticking to a single method.
In sessions she focuses on identifying obstacles and learning ways to change thoughts and behaviors that add to emotional distress. That often means practicing concrete skills between meetings and checking what works in daily life. She also addresses attachment and relationship patterns that affect how people relate to partners and peers.
Rachelle describes her style as interpersonal and modern, pulling from attachment-based approaches, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused ideas, and client-centered care. She aims to help people build the skills to manage problems on their own over time.
She works with a broad range of concerns relevant to young adults, including career stress, identity questions, ADHD, grief, body image, eating concerns, and parenting challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients, but confirm current session options before booking.
How Rachelle uses evidence-based approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and learn different ways to connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers step-by-step techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and build different behaviors for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachelle will review goals, needs, and preferences and collaborate on which methods to use. That collaborative planning may change as progress is made and new issues come up.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy weeks, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and give flexibility around school or work schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversations, and DBT skills training to remote sessions so practical tools are still practiced between meetings.
