About Rachelle
Rachelle Eldred is a licensed professional counselor who practices in Montana. She holds LPCC and LCPC credentials and brings 15 years of clinical experience. Rachelle focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and related life challenges.
She aims to make the first steps toward change feel doable and supported. Rachelle keeps sessions respectful and down-to-earth. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation.
She uses somatic ideas alongside talk-based work to help people notice how their body responds to stress and emotion.
Background and approach
Her background includes work across mood concerns, attention differences, addictions, grief, and caregiver strain. She also addresses relationship and communication struggles, body image, and chronic illness challenges. Rachelle draws on a mix of client-centered, attachment-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical skills to meet different needs.
In sessions she helps people build practical skills for coping, improve emotional regulation, and practice new ways of relating. She offers choices in how to work together and adjusts strategies over time. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, while remaining compassionate.
Rachelle practices from Montana and provides therapy in English. She supports people who want to reduce overwhelm, improve mood, or handle big life changes. The focus is on small, steady steps toward greater calm and clearer thinking.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Somatic-informed work focuses on how the body holds stress and emotion. In online sessions this means noticing breath, posture, tension, or grounding strategies and using gentle body-based practices alongside conversation to help regulate feelings.Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. It helps people name relationship cycles and try new, safer ways of connecting and communicating with others.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and practice different responses. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday coping by breaking problems into clear, manageable steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachelle will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods together and adjust as needed. That collaborative stance helps match techniques to real life concerns.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video and phone sessions allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter, ongoing check-ins and skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to keep momentum and apply tools in day-to-day situations.
