About Rachelle
Rachelle Belott Filipiak is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who blends relational and evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and money-related worries. She draws from Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior, and Emotionally-Focused therapies to meet people where they are. Her work aims to reduce distress and build practical skills for everyday life.
She earned a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and has five years of clinical experience. Her background includes work at a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, a medium-security correctional facility for men, and outpatient mental health services across age groups. Those roles shaped an adaptable, interpersonal style.
In sessions she focuses on identifying obstacles and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving. That can mean learning skills to manage intense emotions, improving communication, or shifting patterns that keep problems stuck. The aim is practical progress that feels workable between visits.
She also addresses concerns such as trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, eating and body image struggles, parenting, and ADHD. Additional areas she supports include abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment challenges, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and codependency.
Rachelle emphasizes helping people build confidence to handle future challenges on their own. Her approach is collaborative and focused on concrete tools. She works in Wisconsin and offers services in English, and she accepts international clients.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Attachment-Based work focuses on how relationships influence feelings and behavior. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try different ways of connecting to feel safer and more understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits that reduce distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions in relationships and helps people identify and reshape emotional responses that get in the way of closeness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and life context, then try methods that fit. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and Rachelle works with clients to find what actually helps between meetings.
Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping momentum between appointments. Online therapy can make it easier to attend when travel or timing is difficult, and it can support shorter check-ins or continued skill practice.
