About Rochelle
Rochelle Bard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with more than 30 years of clinical experience. She identifies as a Christian therapist and includes biblical wisdom alongside clinical approaches when clients want that combination. Her stated concerns include relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and struggles with self-esteem.
Rochelle aims to help people who are navigating conflict, loss, and identity questions. She uses everyday language and practical steps in sessions. She names strengths her clients already have and builds on them during conversations.
Her work covers a wide range of family-related issues. That includes blended family issues, adoption and foster care matters, communication problems, divorce and separation, and fatherhood concerns. She also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, caregiving stress, and fertility or cancer-related strains.
Rochelle draws on several clinical approaches to guide sessions. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She mixes these methods to match what a person needs in the moment.
Sessions are offered by video and phone. Rochelle asks people to confirm the current session options before booking. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time for session payment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her work focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and clarify what matters so they can take small meaningful actions. It tends to help with anxiety, avoidance, and values-based decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear steps to change patterns of thinking and behavior by testing beliefs and practicing different responses; it is useful for mood and stress-related problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflection so people can find their own solutions; this supports self-esteem and decision-making.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Rochelle will work with a person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may shift as work continues.
She provides sessions by video and by phone, so you can fit meetings into a busy week without traveling. Phone sessions can be shorter and easier when video is not necessary. Confirm the exact session options and scheduling details before booking so they match your routine and needs.
