How Rochelle’s approaches translate to online therapy
Rochelle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for grief, trauma reminders, and motivation struggles. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are, which supports honest conversation and emotional processing even over the phone or video.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rochelle will talk with the client about goals, life demands, and what feels most helpful. She tailors methods so they match each person’s needs and comfort, working collaboratively to adjust techniques as progress is made.
The biography indicates she offers video and phone sessions. Those formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer other formats, confirm current options before booking. The therapist will help arrange sessions that suit daily routines and therapeutic goals.
