Rachelle Belott Filipiak , LPC

Rachelle Belott Filipiak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout and brings five years of clinical experience to her work. Her training and practice have spanned a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, a medium-security correctional facility for men, and outpatient mental health services for people of all ages and levels of need.

She uses a modern, holistic, and interpersonal framework, blending techniques from multiple theories to fit each person and situation. That flexible approach allows her to address a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, eating concerns, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and ADHD, as well as related focus areas such as attachment and adoption-related struggles.

Rachelle views therapy as a process of identifying obstacles and learning practical ways to shift thoughts and behaviors so emotional distress is reduced and daily functioning improves. Her goal is to help people develop lasting skills that promote independence from mental health professionals over time. She aims to provide a steady, supportive presence and guidance for those working to move from surviving toward thriving.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current patterns of relating affect present relationships and emotional responses. It helps people explore attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, and difficulties forming secure connections so they can develop healthier relational patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own strengths and goals. This non-directive approach supports self-exploration and personal growth, and can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and improving emotional coping.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skill-based approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT teaches specific strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and modify behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and habit-driven difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. A licensed professional like Rachelle collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility to connect by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage caregiving or mobility constraints, and maintain continuity of care across locations. These options allow therapists and clients to work together in ways that suit individual routines and life demands.
