About Rachelle

Rachelle Anderson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports clients facing depression, bipolar symptoms, parenting stress, and concerns around self-esteem and life transitions.

With 27 years of clinical experience, Rachelle offers straightforward, practical help. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through what matters to them. Sessions emphasize clear steps for coping, better communication, and rebuilding confidence.

Rachelle uses a mix of therapy styles to match each person’s needs. That can include techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to look at unhelpful thinking, client-centered work that focuses on the person’s own priorities, and emotion-focused methods to understand relationship patterns. She also draws on solution-focused strategies to set small, achievable goals.

She has worked with many different struggles over nearly three decades, including addictions, grief, career stress, and challenges related to adoption, attachment, and caregiver strain. Rachelle also supports people navigating LGBT issues, body-image concerns, and eating-related problems.

Her approach is collaborative and respectful. She helps people identify practical steps they can try between sessions and checks in about what is and isn’t working. To start, visitors choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches inform online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress and testing small changes to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and helps people communicate feelings more clearly to improve connection and understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, priorities, and what feels most comfortable. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, EFT, or a mix makes the most sense based on the client’s needs and preferences.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments, and the ability to have sessions without travel time. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Many people find virtual work makes consistent progress easier to maintain because it can be scheduled into busy weeks.
