About Rochelle Bard

Rochelle Bard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with more than 30 years of professional therapeutic experience. She identifies as a Christian therapist and, when clients desire it, integrates Biblical wisdom and teaching alongside clinical methods to support healing and personal growth.

Rochelle has worked with individuals and families on relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation, and self-esteem concerns. She also brings experience in building confidence and addressing issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, attachment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, fertility and fatherhood issues, and other family-of-origin challenges.

Her clinical approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to tailor care to each person’s needs. She emphasizes that clients are the experts on their own stories and that their existing strengths are central to overcoming obstacles and creating lasting change.

Rochelle offers therapeutic sessions by video and by phone and does not use live chat as a modality for therapy because of limited ability to assess safety through that format. She views taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life as an act of courage and aims to provide steady support throughout the therapeutic process. She looks forward to working with individuals who seek faith-informed and clinically grounded care.

Could remote therapy be a good fit for you?

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can produce real benefits. For a wide range of common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life changes - online therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One of the main advantages is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the way that feels most comfortable to them: via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility can make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other responsibilities.

Licensed professionals offer their training and clinical skills through these formats, and individuals may choose a different therapist at any time if they do not find the right fit. For many people, remote options expand access to skilled therapists and simplify the process of getting consistent support.
