About Raechelle
Raechelle Gaffney is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns like stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and parenting strain. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and doable for people juggling busy lives.
She draws on several proven methods to shape sessions. Gottman Method ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) tools support clearer emotional connection during hard conversations. Raechelle uses short-term goals and step-by-step plans so progress feels tangible. Sessions often include concrete strategies to manage panic, cope with life changes, or reduce overwhelm at work.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Her background includes hospital case management and community work, which influenced her focus on practical supports and helping people access services they need. She has experience with aging and caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and first responder issues.
Raechelle tailors her work to each person’s needs and preferences. She offers a down-to-earth style and clear guidance, whether someone needs help with family of origin concerns, grief, midlife questions, or building self-love.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Raechelle often uses the Gottman Method to notice interaction patterns and improve how people handle disagreements and everyday relationship stress. Gottman ideas help identify recurring behaviors and turn them into clearer, more helpful ways of responding.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and panic. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another tool she uses to help people name emotions and build more open, useful emotional connections when talking about sensitive topics.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs, adjusting over time based on what helps most. Raechelle aims to match tools to your pace and priorities so work feels relevant and doable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets you check in quickly, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments.
