About Rochelle
Rochelle Nakoa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Missouri with 13 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as addictions, family and relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, parenting, and issues tied to identity and intimacy. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career or life transitions.
Rochelle draws on client-centered practice to help clients clarify their thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on putting ideas into words and organizing them on paper when helpful. That concrete work makes patterns easier to see and practical next steps easier to plan.
Her background includes work in hospice care, helping people and families during end-of-life needs, and readjustment counseling for veterans returning to civilian life. She has experience supporting people affected by substance use and relationship challenges while working with active military populations. Rochelle has also provided individual and group therapy in correctional settings.
Those roles contributed to substantial experience with sexual trauma and intimate partner violence. In sessions she aims to reduce shame and the burden people carry, so they can make clearer choices about how to live now. She uses simple, direct approaches rather than technical jargon.
Rochelle speaks English and is based in Missouri. She can work with clients who want to address family of origin patterns and attachment concerns that still influence adult relationships. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How her approaches shape online work
Rochelle uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches and often includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and focuses on improving closeness and trust in adult relationships. Client-Centered practice emphasizes listening closely and helping clients name their experience so they can make clearer choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sleep problems.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Rochelle will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which mix of methods fits best. That conversation usually happens in the first few sessions and can be adjusted as progress is made.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer phone or video for lower bandwidth or to avoid being on camera; others use longer video sessions for more in-depth work. Rochelle will talk through practical arrangements so sessions fit the client's schedule and needs.
