Welcome, I'm Rachelle Knight. As a mental health therapist, I'm dedicated to fostering a warm, nonjudgmental space for you to begin sharing your story at your own pace. I will ask questions to better understand your concerns, background, and goals for therapy. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions, get a feel for my style, and start building a trusting connection. The focus is on creating comfort, clarity, and a collaborative foundation for the work ahead.

My ability to blend teaching with therapeutic insight sets me apart and helps clients feel informed, confident, and truly seen.

I completed by education at: Masters Degree (M.S.) - University of Nebraska - Lincoln (Marriage and Family Therapy) Bachelors Degree (B.S.) - Brigham Young University - Provo (Family Science)

First session

In our work together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and clarify where you want to be. From there, we’ll uncover practical strategies and pathways to help you move forward. Each session is designed to leave you with clarity and actionable steps you can take immediately. When you're ready, we can begin your journey together toward meaningful growth and transformation.

Strengths

With 15 years of experience as a mental health educator and 7 years as a mental health therapist, I bring a deep understanding of psychological principles, emotional wellness, and evidence-based practices into my therapy work. This background allows me to offer clients not only compassionate support but also clear, accessible education that empowers them to understand their challenges and take meaningful steps toward healing. My ability to blend teaching with therapeutic insight sets me apart and helps clients feel informed, confident, and truly seen.

Ideal clients

As a grief mental health therapist, I offer a compassionate and steady presence for individuals navigating the complex emotions of loss. My approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and deep listening—creating a space where clients can express sorrow, honor their experiences, and begin to heal at their own pace. I integrate evidence-based practices with a personalized, human-centered style that respects each person’s unique journey through grief, helping them rediscover meaning and resilience in the aftermath of loss. As a therapist specializing in anxiety and depression, I take a warm, collaborative approach that blends evidence-based techniques with genuine human connection. I help clients identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to emotional distress, while fostering self-awareness, resilience, and practical coping strategies. My style is supportive yet empowering—focused on creating a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and equipped to move toward greater emotional balance and well-being.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that will help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. As a practitioner, I will use CBT to guide you in developing healthier coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, and building problem-solving skills. Through collaborative sessions, you will learn to reframe distorted thinking and gradually change behaviors that contribute to your distress. CBT is especially effective for anxiety and depression symptoms offering you practical tools to manage symptoms and enhance your overall well-being.

Rachelle is such a pleasure. I look forward to connecting with her because she is a great listener and acknowledges key parts of my struggles with a warm approach. Is very attentive to my emotions and allows me to feel those emotions and then provides guidance on how to navigate through it.
