About Rochelle
Rochelle Rheingans is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Minnesota who helps people navigate parenting stress and related life challenges. She focuses on practical skills and calm support so parents can manage anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and shifts in family roles. Rochelle writes plainly and keeps sessions down-to-earth for busy caregivers.
She draws on 13 years of clinical experience to tailor sessions to each person.
Background and approach
Her approach combines client-centered listening with skill-building from cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas. That means she pays attention to each person’s strengths while teaching concrete tools for managing thoughts, emotions, and day-to-day routines. Rochelle often uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people increase awareness and find real steps toward goals.
She might introduce short practices to reduce stress or coaching-style questions to clarify what matters most. Humor and normalizing are also part of how she helps people feel less alone while they change. Sessions aim to strengthen coping with grief, trauma, caregiving strain, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family stress, or relationship and communication problems.
She also supports people dealing with depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue by focusing on manageable strategies and steady progress. To start, Rochelle asks about current struggles and goals, then builds a plan with skills people can try between visits. Her style is steady, encouraging, and practical, helping clients make small changes that add up over time.

Approaches for parenting stress and everyday coping
Rochelle often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Client-centered methods focus on listening, making space for each person’s story, and using their strengths to guide change. Cognitive behavioral ideas break down big problems into smaller, testable steps and teach practical coping skills that can be practiced between sessions.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy when strong emotions or relationship patterns make daily life hard. Those DBT-based strategies emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication so people can handle intense moments without making things worse. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work - Rochelle collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skills practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and messaging supports brief coaching or between-session follow-ups. These formats offer flexibility for parents juggling work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
