Background and approach
Rachel uses several evidence-based methods to guide her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people in clarifying values and taking action aligned with them.
Mindfulness practices are used to reduce overwhelm and improve moment-to-moment coping. She also draws on client-centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to keep sessions grounded and skills-focused. This means clients shape the pace while learning tools for emotion regulation and communication.
She pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment, shame, and social anxiety. Rachel works in Ohio as an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. She tailors plans to each person, whether the concern is panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, ADHD-related struggles, or navigating divorce and separation.
The goal is steady progress and clearer day-to-day functioning.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when anxiety or fear are present. It can be useful for stress, panic, and problems that come up during life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building new coping habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, social anxiety, and panic attacks because it provides clear practice and homework between meetings.
Rachel treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process. The therapist will help clients decide which methods to try based on their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skills demonstration. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to have brief conversations, share coping strategies, or check in between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into work, caregiving, or other daily responsibilities.
