About Raechelle
Raechelle Gaffney is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of clinical experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, career questions, grief, and self-esteem issues.
Background and approach
She blends practical, goal-oriented work with attention to emotional patterns to help clients navigate life transitions, cope with loss, and manage panic or overwhelming worry. Additional areas she addresses include aging and geriatric matters, caregiver stress, attachment and family of origin issues, forgiveness work, and questions about life purpose and financial stress.
Her background includes licensure in Texas and Florida as an LMFT and prior roles in hospital case management and community services. That experience informs a collaborative approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside emotion-focused and narrative techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts, strengthen connections, and explore personal stories.
Raechelle adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s situation, leaning on practical strategies and relational insights to support change. Raechelle works in English and practices from Texas, offering online formats so clients can connect through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She invites those ready to make changes to begin with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on her availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions and practical benefits
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving; it is often used for anxiety, panic, stress, and self-esteem concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and strengthening emotional bonds, which can be especially useful for relationship and family dynamics. The Gottman Method offers concrete skills for improving communication and resolving conflict within close relationships, helping partners build trust and cooperation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Raechelle works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, values, and life circumstances. She tailors interventions over time, combining strategies as needed so the plan evolves with each person’s progress.
Online therapy with Raechelle uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or health limitations and allow clients to apply strategies between sessions while staying connected to a licensed professional. The variety of options supports a practical, sustained approach to change.
