Rochelle Rheingans, LPCC, LMHC

Rochelle Rheingans is a licensed mental health professional who brings a practical, person-focused approach to therapy. She practices as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and also holds the LMHC credential - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and is licensed in the state of Minnesota. She has been in private practice for 8 years and has worked with people experiencing depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, and personality-related concerns.

Rochelle has extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and she tailors her counseling style to each individual client. She treats clients as whole people, connecting life challenges to personal strengths rather than segmenting problems into separate parts. That perspective supports practical problem solving that draws on the client’s existing resources.

Her work often includes skill building, developing self-compassion, using normalizing language, and occasionally bringing humor into sessions when appropriate. Rochelle does not shy away from difficult work and acknowledges that reaching out for help can feel frightening. She aims to walk alongside clients through both challenges and successes, serving as a strong advocate and supportive ally throughout the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic approaches and the benefits of online therapy

Rochelle draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients in online settings. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps the person explore their own goals and values - useful for people seeking greater self-understanding and personal growth. CBT is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and works toward practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rochelle works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds. Clients are partners in deciding how to apply different tools and practices.

Online therapy with Rochelle can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, access therapy from home or work, and choose the format that best supports progress.
