Background and approach
Across 15 years in practice she has supported people facing addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. In sessions she emphasizes clear goals and accountability. She helps clients identify small, manageable steps and keeps treatment focused on what matters most.
Parents often seek her out for help with parenting stress, family conflicts, and the emotional toll of caregiving. She offers a mix of practical techniques tailored to each person. Conversations cover coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to reduce overwhelming feelings.
She matches tools to a client's needs and adjusts the plan as progress is made. LaChelle schedules most work on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Her approach aims to make change feel possible rather than abstract.
If someone wants direct feedback and steady support while working toward clearer goals, she may be a good fit.

How evidence-based methods work online
Many clients benefit from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive approaches help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Behavioral strategies build new routines and coping skills through small, repeatable actions to manage stress and cravings.Trauma-informed methods teach grounding and stabilization skills to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning. These approaches give concrete tools for coping with flashbacks, triggers, and overwhelming feelings so clients can regain more control over daily life.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist works with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, and the client is invited to give feedback throughout the process.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people read facial cues and have deeper conversations, while phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and to maintain momentum between sessions.
