Rochelle DiConti, LMHC

Rochelle DiConti is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Substance Use Disorder Professional with ten years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Eastern Washington University and brings that academic foundation to work with individuals coping with codependency, problematic relationships, and addiction. Rochelle integrates faith-based values and 12 Step principles into her approach when desired by the client, combining spiritual resources with evidence-based techniques to support recovery.

She primarily uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients build practical skills for managing emotions, reducing anxiety, and changing unhelpful patterns. Her clinical background also includes treating trauma, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and supporting people on the autism spectrum, as well as an extensive history working with military families. Rochelle emphasizes assertiveness training and practical tools for relationship and family concerns.

Rochelle communicates in a direct manner while maintaining a warm, approachable presence. Her style is calm and easygoing, and she intentionally uses appropriately timed humor and pop culture or nerd references to help clients grasp and remember concepts. Clients who value straightforward feedback framed with compassion may find her approach especially helpful.

Evidence-based approaches for online support

Rochelle commonly uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT focuses on practical tools clients can use during intense moments and is often helpful for managing strong emotions, impulsivity, and challenging relationship patterns.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers structured strategies for anxiety, panic, depression, and many everyday stressors by developing coping skills and changing thinking patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rochelle works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills between sessions.
