About Rachelle
Rachelle Belott Filipiak is a licensed professional counselor who uses a blend of practical approaches to help parents and caregivers. She draws on five years of clinical work to support people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Rachelle speaks plainly and focuses on helping clients learn tools they can use every day.
Her experience includes time in a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, a medium-security correctional facility for men, and outpatient mental health settings.
Background and approach
Those roles shaped a flexible style that adapts to each person's needs. She brings experience working with trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, and relationship concerns. In sessions she helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practices alternatives that reduce emotional distress.
She pulls from attachment-based ideas, cognitive techniques, and emotion-focused work to address relationship and parenting concerns. The aim is to build skills that people can keep using after formal counseling ends. Rachelle uses a straightforward, interpersonal approach.
She centers the client's goals and collaborates on practical steps like communication skills, coping strategies, and emotion regulation. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and caregiving stress. She holds a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin–Stout and is licensed as an LPC in Wisconsin.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with people both in Wisconsin and international clients through online formats.

Approach-driven therapy that fits online
Rachelle often combines attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and helps people change interaction patterns that cause stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or parenting-related stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history, and day-to-day challenges, then recommend methods that match those needs. Together they try different strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy parents and caregivers. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship work and practice communication skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or a lower-bandwidth option when video isn't possible. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick coping tools, between-session check-ins, or when typing out thoughts feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
