About Rachelle
Rachelle Belott Filipiak is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. She blends straightforward, practical work with an emphasis on people’s stories and relationships. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping individuals find clearer ways to handle stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes.
Rachelle draws on Narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult experiences and see new options.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-focused work to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Cognitive and skills-based strategies are included when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. 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.
That variety shaped a practical approach to common problems like trauma, grief, addictions, and relationship struggles. Sessions attend to daily life issues such as parenting strain, work stress, body image, ADHD, and coping with chronic illness. Rachelle aims to teach tools clients can use on their own over time.

Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care
Rachelle combines Narrative Therapy with attachment-focused and client-centered work to shape online sessions that pay attention to personal stories and relationships. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from difficult events and rewrite parts of their story to find new possibilities; it can be useful for trauma, grief, and identity concerns. Attachment-Based approaches look at how early bond patterns influence current reactions and help people learn safer ways of relating and soothing themselves. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s experience, offering empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while they identify goals.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachelle will discuss options with each person and adapt techniques to match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps set clear, realistic steps and teaches practical tools people can use between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for quick updates, ongoing problem-solving, or people who prefer typing. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy days, different time zones, and varied schedules.
