About Rachelle
Rachelle Belott Filipiak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, life changes, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
She trained at the University of Wisconsin-Stout and has worked in a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, a medium-security correctional facility for men, and in outpatient mental health settings. That mix of experience informs how she notices patterns in relationships and day-to-day life.
Her practice draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). In session she focuses on emotions, attachment patterns, and the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Conversations aim to identify obstacles and try practical ways to change unhelpful responses.
Rachelle uses straightforward, interpersonal work to help people build skills for managing distress. She teaches strategies to shift thinking and behavior, and she practices with clients on new ways of responding. The goal is that people develop confidence to handle future challenges on their own.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions that shape how people relate to themselves and others. It is often used when attachment patterns and hard-to-name feelings drive repeated relationship or personal problems.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current attachment patterns and how they influence reactions and expectations in relationships. This approach can help with communication problems, commitment concerns, and feelings of abandonment or insecurity.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities, using listening and reflection to help people clarify their goals and make decisions. It pairs well with skills-based methods like CBT and DBT when practical strategies are needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then choose methods collaboratively. That can mean focusing on emotions and attachment in one phase and practicing CBT or DBT skills in another.
