About Rachelle
Rachelle Anderson uses relational and evidence-informed approaches to help people facing life stressors. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Florida and has 27 years of clinical experience guiding clients through anxiety, depression, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and practical, with a focus on clear steps people can use between sessions. She helps people who struggle with relationships, intimacy, and communication problems.
She also supports those coping with grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns, and career stress. Rachelle pays attention to issues that affect self-esteem and identity, including concerns related to LGBT experiences and body image.
In sessions she often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused approaches to strengthen emotional understanding and connection.
Solution-Focused techniques help set practical goals and track progress. Rachelle works with a broad range of concerns including bipolar mood issues, ADHD, eating and substance-related problems, and challenges tied to adoption, aging, or caregiver stress.
Her long experience means she can offer straightforward guidance and coping skills tailored to each person's situation. People who choose Rachelle can expect a collaborative process that balances emotional listening with concrete tools.
She offers sessions in English and provides several online formats to fit different schedules and needs.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions, which can reduce avoidance and improve daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to ease anxiety and depression. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people better understand emotions and improve how they connect with others by mapping interaction patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachelle collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and life demands. She adapts techniques from these approaches so sessions stay practical and relevant to each person’s situation.
Online sessions come in several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn't convenient, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, childcare, or travel, and allow for different levels of engagement such as longer focused sessions or quick, frequent touchpoints.
