Background and approach
LaChelle has about 15 years of experience in the helping professions and has worked with people facing depression, PTSD, and other common mental health concerns. Her clinical training includes well-known evidence-based techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and other structured approaches.
She has used these methods with individuals and families across diverse situations, including those involved with child welfare systems and couples from varied socioeconomic backgrounds. LaChelle typically holds sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. She aims to give straightforward feedback, practical steps, and support for people who want to change but feel stuck or overwhelmed.
She also emphasizes a collaborative relationship where progress is realistic and paced to each person’s needs. Clients can expect a mix of practical coaching, skill-building, and focused conversation aimed at removing barriers and moving forward one step at a time.
Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Flexibility
LaChelle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation-related challenges.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small experiments to change feelings and behavior. CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose or blend methods that fit. The therapist and client collaborate to adjust strategies as needs change over time.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow scheduling flexibility and let people keep therapy going from home, work, or while traveling within the same state. Sessions can be paced to match busy family schedules and offer multiple ways to follow up between meetings.
