Raechelle Gaffney

Raechelle Gaffney is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, career questions, parenting strain, grief, and life changes. She focuses on boosting self-esteem and supporting those coping with major transitions. Raechelle brings 15 years of clinical work in community and health settings to each session.

She uses plain talk and practical steps in sessions. Raechelle draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and repair important relationships. Sessions are tailored to the issue at hand and to what a person hopes to achieve.

Raechelle has professional experience working with older adults, people providing caregiving, and those navigating end-of-life and hospice concerns. She also addresses family of origin issues, attachment concerns, first responder stress, and money or financial worries. That background shapes how she supports people through complicated life moments.

Her career includes time as a hospital case manager and work helping people connect with social, medical, housing, and educational resources. Those roles inform her practical approach to problem solving and planning. Raechelle aims to create clear next steps each week so progress feels manageable.

She practices in Texas and holds licensure as a Texas LMFT and a Florida LMFT. Raechelle invites people ready to make changes to take a first step toward clearer goals and steadier coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Raechelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide her work online. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety active. It is useful for panic attacks, worry, and improving day-to-day coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on feelings and connection, helping people understand their emotional responses and improve important relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Raechelle will discuss goals and preferences and work together to decide which methods fit best. She adjusts methods over time as needs change, keeping the work collaborative and goal-oriented.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight.
