About Rachel
Rachel Lackovic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania with 16 years of experience. She offers steady, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other life challenges.

She uses a person-centered stance so clients guide the work. That means she listens first, clarifies what matters most, and then offers tools that fit each person's needs.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a frequent part of her approach to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Rachel also draws on mindfulness practices to help people manage strong emotions and stay present. Motivational interviewing supports folks who want to find motivation for change.
Solution-focused steps are used when quick, practical strategies are needed to move forward. In sessions she aims to make goals clear and manageable. Conversations often include small experiments, skill practice, and ways to measure progress between meetings.
She frames therapy as a partnership where the client directs the destination and she helps with the map. Her experience includes work with a wide range of concerns such as parenting stress, relationship struggles, eating issues, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and caregiver strain. She also addresses issues like hoarding, chronic illness, and grief related to loss.
People who appreciate straightforward guidance and practical tools tend to fit well with her style. She helps clients break large problems into smaller steps and celebrate each forward move.
How Rachel's Approaches Work Online
Rachel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.She also brings a client-centered attitude to remote sessions, which means the therapist and client decide together which approaches fit best. That collaborative process includes checking goals, trying techniques, and adjusting methods based on what helps the client meet their priorities.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets most conversations feel close to an in-person visit. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or a way to continue momentum between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and access support from different places.
