Rachelle Belott Filipiak

Rachelle Belott Filipiak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. She draws on five years of clinical experience and a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. Rachelle aims to help people reduce distress and build skills they can use long after therapy ends.

Her background includes work in a domestic violence shelter for women, a college counseling center, a medium-security correctional facility for men, and outpatient care for people of different ages and needs. Those roles shaped a practical, grounded approach to common problems like stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship issues.

Rachelle uses a mix of methods tailored to each person. She incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy along with Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, cognitive behavioral, and dialectical behavior therapy ideas as needed. Sessions focus on identifying obstacles, changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and learning skills for coping with life changes.

She also works with concerns such as parenting, grief, addictions, body image, ADHD, and the effects of illness or caregiving stress. Rachelle pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current struggles and aims to help clients gain confidence in solving problems on their own.

Rachelle frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens, offers practical tools, and supports people as they try new ways of thinking and acting. The emphasis is on steady, achievable change rather than quick fixes.

How trauma-informed and attachment approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people name and understand the impact of traumatic experiences. It often focuses on reducing the power of triggers and building steady coping skills to manage distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice connection and trust issues and practice different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and pace, giving space for people to lead the work while the therapist listens and reflects.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying one approach, adjusting techniques, or combining methods until it feels useful.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions into daily life, fewer travel interruptions, and more flexible timing for people with work or caregiving demands. If you want to know which session formats are offered, confirm the current options before booking so you can plan around your schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt Trauma-Focused, attachment, and client-centered work to an online setting to focus on skills, relationship patterns, and coping strategies without promising a specific outcome.
