02 · In Rochelle's own words

What Rochelle says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

As a licensed therapist with nearly three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges. My practice centers on helping clients develop deeper self-understanding, heal from past wounds, and cultivate meaningful connections. I bring compassionate expertise to addressing relationship dynamics, intimacy concerns, parenting struggles, and personal growth.

My approach is rooted in understanding each person's unique journey, with a particular focus on helping clients work through issues of self-love, communication barriers, isolation, and personal purpose. I offer a supportive space to explore feelings of guilt, shame, and personal transformation, drawing from a rich background of professional counseling and a deep commitment to holistic healing.

As a therapist of color, I provide culturally responsive care that honors individual experiences and spiritual perspectives. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering guidance and support as you move toward greater emotional wellness and personal empowerment.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Rochelle practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Rochelle's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Rochelle at this point.

2. Naming Rochelle specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Rochelle is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Rochelle.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

2 questions worth asking Rochelle

Built from what Rochelle actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Rochelle's - Rochelle has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “With 29 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Rochelle's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 10 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Rochelle. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
