About Rochelle
Rochelle Bard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in California with 30 years of practice experience. She combines clinical methods with Christian perspectives when clients request that integration. She works with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns.
Rochelle helps people talk through relationship and family problems in direct, practical ways. She also supports people coping with loss, abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and issues that come up around aging and caregiving. Her background includes work with cancer-related stress, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and blended family challenges.
Her style draws on approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques when they fit the situation. Sessions focus on concrete steps, clearer communication, and manageable changes people can try between meetings.
Rochelle believes clients know their own story and brings strengths-based listening to each session. She helps people identify values, set short-term goals, and practice new responses to recurring problems. She mixes spiritual or biblical resources into therapy when a client wants that added perspective.
Practical concerns such as work, caregiving duties, and health are taken into account when planning therapy. Rochelle offers phone and video sessions and asks people to confirm current session options before booking. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling an initial session.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and virtual care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values, even when painful feelings remain. It can be useful for relationship decisions, grief, and managing stress over time. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can find their own answers; it supports building confidence and stronger self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and actions interact, and then tests new behaviors to reduce distress and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rochelle will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals, and what feels practical for daily life. That choice can shift as goals or circumstances change.
The biography lists phone and video sessions as offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical concerns. Phone calls can be a shorter check-in when time is tight, and video sessions allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Confirm the exact formats and scheduling details when you set up the first appointment.
