About Rachel
Rachel Sirek is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She works with adults who want clearer ways to handle anxiety, stress, and emotional ups and downs. Her style is down-to-earth and practical, with an emphasis on understanding how a person’s brain and habits shape day-to-day life.
She pays close attention to neurodivergent experience, including ADHD and other differences in thinking and processing. Rachel helps people reduce self-criticism and find strategies that fit how they naturally operate.
Background and approach
She often supports clients facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, or life changes. Her clinical background includes outpatient and crisis work, which taught her to stay curious and calm under pressure. That experience informs how she responds when emotions feel intense or overwhelming.
Rachel balances direct skill teaching with a steady, person-focused approach. Rachel draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to tailor work to each person. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools to help with emotional regulation and decision making.
Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings. She describes therapy as a collaborative process. Rachel aims to help people learn to notice unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and build routines that match their goals.
Her goal is to make therapy useful and understandable for everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
The practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that fit online work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns with short exercises you can try between sessions. DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills so people can manage intense feelings and keep relationships steady.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. That collaborative rhythm means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made or new issues come up.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing skills in real time. Phone sessions are lower bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or staying connected between longer sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into busy lives.
