About Rachelle

Rachelle Anderson is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses emotion-focused work to help people handle worry, relationship strain, and life change. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so clients can take small steps forward. Her style is calm and direct, focused on what people actually want to change.

With 27 years of experience, she helps people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, and addictive behaviors. She also supports those facing grief, parenting stress, career crossroads, and struggles with self-esteem.

Background and approach

Many people come for help with relationship and intimacy-related issues or to improve communication skills. Her approach blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That mix makes room for feelings while also teaching clear skills to reduce distress and shift unhelpful patterns.

Sessions involve talking, identifying patterns, and practicing new ways of responding. Rachelle has worked with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care, and caregiving stress. She also addresses body image, eating issues, and substance use matters in practical, goal-focused ways.

She aims to help people rebuild confidence and handle life transitions more effectively. Based in Florida, she offers sessions in English and uses video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set realistic goals they can work toward between sessions.

Online support

How emotion-focused and skills-based work fits online

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with core emotions to improve how people relate to themselves and others. It is often used for relationship and intimacy-related concerns, communication challenges, and to address attachment or abandonment issues.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and building persistence around goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will choose methods that fit the situation and adjust them as progress unfolds.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and stronger interpersonal work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for frequent brief contacts, homework check-ins, or moments of support between sessions.
