About Rachelle

Rachelle Anderson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, self-esteem, addictions, grief, and related life changes. Her practice name and contact steps are provided through the site's booking flow.

She draws on practical methods to help people manage anxiety and make clearer choices in relationships. Sessions focus on what feels stuck - people-pleasing, trouble saying no, losing a sense of self, or living alongside another person's drinking or moods. Rachelle uses straightforward tools to improve communication and coping skills.

Rachelle blends short-term, goal-focused work with deeper emotional work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centered approaches support exploring attachment, intimacy, and self-worth.

Clients can expect conversation that looks at patterns and practical next steps. Rachelle often helps people set boundaries, practice saying no, and build routines that reduce stress. She also supports those facing career shifts, parenting strain, or recovery from separation and loss.

Her focus includes codependency-related patterns alongside a wide range of concerns such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating and substance issues, adoption and attachment matters, and caregiver stress. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Florida. To begin, follow the site booking flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Rachelle uses evidence-based methods in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It emphasizes values and small committed actions to build a life that matters, which can help with codependency patterns and anxiety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for managing worry, changing people-pleasing habits, and improving mood by practicing different responses.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports looking at attachment and intimacy patterns. It helps people understand emotional responses in relationships and try new ways of connecting or setting limits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean brief, solution-focused tasks in one phase and deeper emotional work in another.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, communication practice, and homework to remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings.
