About Rochelle

Rochelle Rheingans is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Minnesota. She brings 13 years of clinical experience and a direct approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and family-related struggles. Rochelle speaks English and focuses on practical, day-to-day skills that make life more manageable.

In sessions she focuses on the whole person rather than isolated problems. She mixes clear skill teaching with supportive conversation.

Background and approach

Clients can expect tools for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and coping with life changes. Rochelle often uses humor and normalization to ease tension and build trust. Her training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which she adapts to each person’s needs.

She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing when helpful. These methods aim to change unhelpful thinking, reduce distress, and develop new coping habits. Rochelle has worked with people with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, grief, bipolar symptoms, attention challenges, anger, and compassion fatigue.

She also gives attention to family dynamics, parenting strain, blended family issues, and fatherhood questions. She emphasizes building self-compassion and practical skills that clients can use between sessions. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.

Rochelle describes herself as an advocate and supporter who stays with clients through challenges and wins. People who want clear strategies and an encouraging therapeutic partner may find her approach a good fit.

Practical approaches for online family and personal concerns

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on treating the person as a whole and creating a nonjudgmental space. The therapist listens closely and helps you use your own strengths to make changes, which can help with parenting stress, family conflicts, and low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts that feed anxiety or depression. It teaches straightforward skills to shift thinking and try small behavioral changes that improve daily functioning and sleep.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers tools for strong emotions and relationships. It includes strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful for anger, intimacy issues, and relationship tensions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with the client to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to real-life parenting and family situations.

Online therapy makes it easier to meet from home or work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. These options provide flexibility for busy schedules and allow clients to use the formats that feel most comfortable while they practice new skills between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
