About Rekeeshella
Rekeeshella Elder is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, or unsure about relationships and family matters. She also supports those coping with grief and working on self-esteem and confidence.
Her approach is straightforward and respectful. Conversations are shaped to each person's needs, and she listens for what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings as well as ways to shift how they relate to themselves and others.
Background and approach
Rekeeshella uses tools from Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice emotions and choose actions that match their values. She also draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods to clarify goals and test new behaviors. Solution-focused techniques are used when clients want to identify immediate next steps.
Her work often covers attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, communication and control issues, and recovery after separation or domestic violence. She can help people untangle family of origin patterns and the emptiness that sometimes follows loss. Rekeeshella aims to create a calm, sensitive space for honest conversation.
She helps people build small, sustainable changes that add up. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the person's life.

Using Emotional Work and Practical Tools Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name their emotions so they can change unhelpful patterns in relationships and self-connection. It is useful when strong feelings get in the way of closeness or sense of self.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes moving toward values-based action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It focuses on small, meaningful steps and building psychological flexibility for tackling stress, anxiety, and chronic challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is a collaborative effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for face-to-face conversation; phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, flexible exchanges and ongoing touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue consistent work with a licensed professional.
