About Raechelle
Raechelle Gaffney, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), is licensed in Texas and Florida and has 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, career questions, coping with life changes, grief, and self-esteem in her work. She uses approaches the client can understand, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and says she adapts conversations to fit what people bring to sessions.
Gaffney frames therapy as practical talk about current problems and patterns. She draws on family systems ideas to look at how relationships shape behavior. She also uses narrative and motivational approaches to help people reframe challenges and set workable goals.
Her background includes years in social and family health services and hospital case management. That experience involved helping people access medical, housing, and other community resources. She has a Bachelor of Science from Florida State University and graduate degrees from Nova Southeastern University.
In sessions she aims to address both individual coping and relationship dynamics. She lists specific focuses such as attachment issues, caregiver stress, first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and aging and geriatric concerns. She also works with panic and panic attacks, control issues, and money and financial worries.
Gaffney describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people clarify goals, try new strategies, and track progress. Practical tools and regular review of what is working are part of her approach.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses practical exercises and skills to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and change unhelpful thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name emotions and improve how they connect in close relationships. It is often used when relationship patterns and attachment concerns are central.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try. Clients and therapist decide together and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and reduce travel time. Talk-based methods like CBT and EFT translate well to virtual sessions, and the practical exercises used in therapy can be assigned between meetings to reinforce change.
