Rochelle DiConti , LMHC

Rochelle DiConti is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Substance Use Disorder Professional with 10 years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Eastern Washington University and brings that training to work with individuals and families facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, and trauma.

Rochelle identifies as a Christian counselor and often integrates faith-based perspectives alongside 12 Step principles when they align with a client's goals. In clinical practice she primarily uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), applying practical skills and thought-restructuring techniques to help clients manage emotions, reduce problematic behaviors, and improve communication. Her work includes targeted support for codependency, problematic relationships, assertiveness training, and addiction treatment informed by 12 Step concepts.

She has experience treating a range of concerns including trauma, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and autism, and has an extensive history supporting military families. Rochelle is known for a direct communication style delivered in a soft, warm manner that meets people where they are. Her approach is easygoing and calm, and she uses appropriately timed humor and pop culture or nerd references to make tools and concepts easier to grasp and remember.

Evidence-based approaches delivered through online therapy

Rochelle primarily draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which focuses on teaching practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be especially helpful for people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship instability, offering concrete tools to manage reactions and improve interactions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a structured approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday stressors to create measurable changes in mood and functioning.

When addiction recovery is the focus, Rochelle incorporates 12 Step principles and faith-based perspectives as appropriate, using those frameworks to support recovery goals and build routines that reinforce progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Rochelle collaborates with each person to determine which combination of techniques best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or across distances. Licensed professionals can deliver the same core therapeutic approaches through these modalities, allowing clients to engage in consistent, goal-focused work from wherever they are.
