About Rachel
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change now. Rachel draws on Client-Centered approaches to listen and build trust. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to teach skills, reframe thoughts, and set small, achievable goals.
Rachel’s path into counseling began with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and continued with a Master of Science in Psychology. Early work included supporting urban youth with substance use concerns and helping adults with addiction. That work shaped a practical, skill-based approach to everyday problems.
Over the years she has worked in schools, community colleges, and outpatient settings, helping people return to work, manage panic, and rebuild after separation or divorce. She has run a private practice for several years focused on grief, anxiety, and life transitions.
Rachel notes she does not provide services for people whose primary concern is trauma, because her licenses limit that work. If someone’s history includes traumatic experiences, she asks them to confirm suitability before booking. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, music, and time with family and her cats.

How Rachel’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s needs and perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace to help clarify goals and make choices that feel right.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and managing stress by practicing new ways of thinking and acting.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, doable steps toward specific goals. It helps people identify what’s already working and build on those strengths to move forward faster.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist partners with each person to decide what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.
This profile does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also help when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Licensed professionals use these methods to adapt how skills and goals are practiced across different session styles.
