About Rochelle
Rochelle Lachance is a seasoned clinician who helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship challenges. She draws on more than four decades of practice to guide people through anger, low self-esteem, parenting strain, ADHD, hoarding, end-of-life concerns, and intimacy problems. Rochelle focuses on building a steady, trusting relationship where people feel heard first.
Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented. She listens closely, reflects feelings back, and works with clients to set steps they can try between visits.
Background and approach
Her approach combines emotion-focused work, client-centered listening, and cognitive-behavioral strategies. That means she pays attention to what people feel in the moment, honors their experience, and also looks for thoughts and habits that can be changed to reduce distress.
Across her career Rochelle has worked in hospitals, outpatient programs, psychiatric settings, substance abuse units, special education schools, and provided home visits for older adults. This range has given her experience with many kinds of life stress and medical situations. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland - LCSW-C.
She knows local community resources and often helps people connect to services that support their goals. In sessions she uses problem-solving methods and motivational interviewing alongside mindfulness and relationship-focused techniques. Her style aims to be straightforward, empathetic, and practical so people can make changes that fit their daily lives.

Online support
How emotion-focused and practical approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on what people feel in their relationships and helps them name and shift the emotions that keep old patterns active; it is often used when people struggle with closeness, attachment, or recurring relationship conflicts.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s perspective at the center of sessions, with the therapist listening deeply, reflecting, and helping people discover their own solutions rather than imposing advice.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific strategies to change unhelpful thinking and habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rochelle will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan if something isn’t helping. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and doable.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls let the therapist see emotional cues and support deeper discussion, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps people check in between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and medical needs.
