About Rachelle
Rachelle Eldred is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Montana. She holds LPCC and LCPC credentials and brings 15 years of clinical experience to sessions. People often reach out to her for help with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and motivation.
She aims to meet people where they are and build a plan that fits each person's needs. Rachelle focuses on clear, direct conversation and practical steps. She adapts her approach depending on the problem - sometimes working on thought patterns, sometimes on how relationships affect mood.
Background and approach
Sessions include talking through current struggles and trying small experiments between visits. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. She also works with concerns such as sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, grief, career stress, and addictions.
Other areas she addresses include ADHD, compassion fatigue, attachment issues, and chronic illness or pain. Rachelle notices patterns that keep people stuck and offers ways to change those patterns. Her style is respectful and compassionate while remaining focused and goal-oriented.
She helps people set realistic steps and practices to try at home. Over time clients learn skills to manage symptoms and make decisions that match their values. Rachelle supports people using approaches like attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, DBT skills, and EMDR when appropriate.
She tailors sessions to each person's pace and preferences and partners with them on what to try next.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and safety in relationships. Online sessions let clients talk about relationship patterns and try new ways of relating between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT fits well with video or messaging since exercises and worksheets can be shared and reviewed together. EMDR is a process used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by combining focused conversation with guided bilateral stimulation; it is sometimes used when trauma memories are a central concern.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that match your goals, and adjust based on what is helpful. Clients and the therapist agree on goals and steps rather than following a fixed plan from the start.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of session styles. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that helps communication. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to send brief updates, practice skills in real time, or stay connected between longer visits. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain steady progress.
