About Raechelle
Raechelle Gaffney is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, parenting, family tensions, career changes, grief, and self-esteem. She works to make therapy straightforward and practical. Raechelle speaks plainly and helps people break problems into manageable steps.
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's situation. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, examining relationship patterns with Emotionally-Focused ideas, or telling and reframing life stories with Narrative Therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify small changes that improve daily life and relationships. Raechelle brings 15 years of clinical experience and holds an LMFT credential licensed in Texas and Florida. Her background includes hospital case management and community-based work that helped people connect with medical, housing, and social services.
That practical experience shapes a problem-solving focus in therapy. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens for what matters most and helps set clear, achievable goals.
Raechelle tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Parents and adults dealing with life transitions, caregiving stress, or relationship strains may find her direct, supportive manner helpful. Raechelle emphasizes steady progress, coping skills, and restoring a sense of control over stressful situations.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Raechelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused approaches online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how people connect and respond in relationships and helps shift patterns that cause recurring conflict or distance.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often blend techniques so the plan responds to what’s working and what needs more focus.
Online therapy with Raechelle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, handle sudden stressors, and keep progress between live conversations. The range of formats supports different comfort levels and practical needs while remaining focused on real, usable skills.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
Gottman Method
A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
