About Rachelle

Rachelle Anderson is a Florida licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, and major life changes. Her practice also addresses mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, as well as addiction and attention-related challenges.

Rachelle combines several practical therapies to help people manage day-to-day problems and make clearer choices. She draws from client-centered methods to listen closely, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, and solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable steps. Emotionally-focused work is used when relationship patterns and intimacy issues are a central concern.

Sessions typically focus on concrete skills. Topics include improving communication, handling grief and loss, coping with commitment or abandonment worries, and navigating adoption or caregiving stress. She also supports people dealing with body image, eating concerns, substance use, and career questions.

Rachelle’s approach is straightforward. She helps people name what matters, try practical coping strategies, and check what changes make a difference. That can mean practicing new ways to talk, testing a different daily routine, or planning steps around a career shift.

Many clients come with layered concerns, such as ADHD and anxiety or relationship strain alongside parenting stress. Rachelle works through those threads over time, focusing on what is most pressing in each session.

How her approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify personal values and encourages action toward them even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for people wrestling with life changes, anxiety, or low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and collaboration so the person’s goals shape the work and pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Rachelle will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques from different approaches and checking what helps in everyday life.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If video is available it supports visual connection, while phone sessions can be quieter and require less bandwidth. The focus remains on practical skills, clearer decision-making, and steps you can try between meetings.
