About Rochelle

Rochelle Lachance brings over four decades of clinical experience to her therapeutic work in Maryland. She trained and practiced as a social worker beginning in 1975 and has maintained a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential since 1983, also holding an MD.

Background and approach

Her background spans hospitals, psychiatric settings, substance use treatment units, outpatient programs, special education schools, and home visits for geriatric clients, which informs a broad understanding of complex life challenges including grief, trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Rochelle emphasizes a collaborative, problem-solving approach that centers on listening, empathy, and building trust.

She combines client-centered methods with evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, and brings relationship-focused models like emotionally-focused and Imago therapies when relational patterns are central. Her practice also addresses specialized concerns including hoarding, end-of-life and hospice issues, infidelity and jealousy, obsessions and compulsions, and personality disorder presentations.

Clients benefit from her long experience navigating community resources and coordinating care across settings while working toward clear, individualized goals. Her style aims to help people develop practical coping strategies and healthier emotional and interpersonal patterns through steady, respectful therapeutic partnership.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rochelle integrates client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to support practical change and emotional processing. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and partnership to help people clarify goals and feel understood, which can be useful for stress, grief, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. Cognitive behavioral therapy examines patterns of thinking and behavior and helps clients develop concrete skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and problematic coping habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Rochelle treats that as a collaborative conversation. She will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs and preferences, blending techniques when appropriate to address symptoms, relationship patterns, and real-world problems together.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access therapy from home or work, and use different communication styles as needs change over time.
