Raechelle Gaffney, LMFT

Raechelle Gaffney is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience helping individuals and families navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. She holds a Bachelor of Science from Florida State University and both a Master of Science and an Education Specialist degree from Nova Southeastern University. The LMFT credential means she is trained to work with couples, families, and individuals on relational and systemic concerns as well as individual mental health needs.

Her background includes work as a hospital case manager and in community settings where she assisted people in accessing social, medical, housing, and educational resources. That experience contributes to a practical, strengths-based approach when helping clients manage caregiving stress, aging and geriatric issues, family-of-origin dynamics, and other complex life circumstances. Raechelle has a particular interest in serving underserved and older adult populations and in addressing issues such as isolation, caregiver burden, and end-of-life concerns.

In therapy she combines evidence-informed methods to match the needs of each client, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic approaches, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Her work focuses on building coping skills, improving communication within families, resolving attachment and control issues, and helping clients clarify life purpose and strengthen self-esteem. Raechelle adapts treatment plans to each person or family so that interventions align with their goals and circumstances.
