About Rachelle

Rachelle Anderson is a licensed marriage and family therapist who blends evidence-based methods with a compassionate, client-focused stance.

Background and approach

With 27 years of clinical experience in Florida, she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance-based and client-centered strategies to help people manage anxiety, depression, addictions, and the stresses of day-to-day life. Her LMFT credential (FL LMFT MT1783) reflects long-term clinical practice and training.

Her practice emphasizes practical coping skills and emotional insight, guiding clients through relationship concerns, parenting challenges, identity and intimacy issues, grief, and major life transitions. Rachelle integrates solution-focused techniques and emotionally-focused perspectives when appropriate to strengthen communication, address attachment and codependency patterns, and support recovery from substance and eating-related difficulties.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that tailors interventions to individual goals, whether addressing career pressures, ADHD-related challenges, or the complex effects of adoption and caregiver stress. Rachelle balances structured, goal-oriented tools with empathic listening to help people build resilience, clearer boundaries, and more satisfying connections.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy for Practical Change

Rachelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical and often aimed at reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress through concrete skills. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support people in accepting difficult feelings while clarifying values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals. When appropriate, client-centered techniques are used to create an empathic, nonjudgmental space that helps clients explore their experience and feel heard.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adapting techniques over time so treatment remains relevant and responsive to change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels with technology. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, provide prompt access to therapeutic support, and allow clients to engage in therapy in the setting that works best for them.
