About Rachelle

Rachelle Belott Filipiak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who combines practical skills with a calm, interpersonal style. She uses clear steps to help people reduce distress and manage strong emotions like anger. Rachelle draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person's situation and goals.

She trained at the University of Wisconsin-Stout and earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Over five years she has worked in a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, a medium-security correctional facility for men, and outpatient mental health settings.

Background and approach

Those roles shaped her ability to meet people during hard moments. Rachelle focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. She also supports people dealing with relationship or family strains, parenting challenges, addictions, and life transitions.

Additional areas she addresses include ADHD, attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness, and adoption or foster care questions. In sessions she blends attachment-based thinking, client-centered care, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, and emotionally-focused work. That lets her tailor conversations and exercises to what helps each person most.

The aim is to teach tools that reduce emotional distress and change unhelpful patterns. Her practical aim is to help people gain the skills to manage problems independently over time. Rachelle emphasizes small, achievable changes and building confidence.

She welcomes clients who want straightforward guidance and a collaborative approach to healing.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and helps people build more supported ways of relating. It can be useful for people struggling with trust, abandonment fears, or repeated relationship problems.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace. It helps people feel heard and then gradually name goals and make practical changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches concrete skills to shift thinking and behavior, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and personal style. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls let people use visual cues and set aside a focused hour, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
