About Rachelle
Rachelle Eldred is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. She holds LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) and LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) credentials and practices in Montana.

Rachelle keeps sessions straightforward. She listens and responds with respect and sensitivity. She helps clients figure out what matters most and sets small, doable steps toward change.
Background and approach
Her style is calm and direct, aimed at making therapy feel manageable rather than overwhelming. In the therapy room she combines relationship-focused work with skills training. That can mean looking at attachment patterns and how they shape relationships, and also using techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She may also use elements of dialectical behavior therapy or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when those methods fit the client’s needs. Rachelle works with a wide range of concerns including addiction, grief, anger, sleep and eating issues, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Sessions move at a pace the client can handle. She aims to empower people to build better coping skills and clearer plans for daily life. Rachelle supports practical problem solving and emotional healing so clients can make steady progress toward goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. Online sessions can use this approach to identify repeating relationship habits and try new ways of relating in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It works well online through structured conversations, homework, and simple worksheets to practice between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to process traumatic memories; adapted EMDR techniques can be used in remote sessions when appropriate and agreed upon by both therapist and client.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches that fit the client’s goals, and adjust as needed. Clients and therapist decide together which methods feel most helpful as work progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when visual cues help. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or an option for people who prefer writing. These formats make it possible to meet consistently and keep therapeutic progress moving forward.
