Rachelle Eldred, LPCC, LCPC

Rachelle Eldred is a licensed professional counselor who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her practice. She is licensed as a LPCC in North Dakota and as a LCPC in Montana. Rachelle focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions.

She works in a direct, respectful way and tailors conversations to each person's needs. Sessions look at what is happening now and what small changes could help with mood, sleep, or daily functioning. She also offers help for trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and persistent low self-esteem.

Rachelle draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She also uses attachment-based ideas to strengthen relationships and client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s experience. When appropriate, skills from dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR may be part of sessions.

Her style is practical and supportive. She helps people set clear goals and practices tools between sessions. Progress is talked about in plain terms so clients can see how their efforts connect to change.

Rachelle offers sessions from Montana and provides services in English. She aims to create an atmosphere of respect and compassion while helping people build coping skills and clearer direction in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It focuses on concrete steps and homework that can be practiced between sessions to build new habits.

Attachment-based therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections shape current responses. It helps people notice their interaction styles and try different ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and life demands. That collaborative process guides what techniques are tried and how progress is measured.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls offer face-to-face interaction for skills coaching and EMDR-style processing. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief, frequent support and work well for practicing skills, sharing updates between scheduled visits, or when typing feels more comfortable than talking.
