Rachel Krueger, LPC

Rachel Krueger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 11 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Rachel focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions to feel steadier and more able to manage daily demands.

Her approach begins with listening closely to each person's story. She helps clients notice patterns, set realistic goals, and try changes that fit their life. Sessions tend to be collaborative and down-to-earth rather than lecture-based.

Rachel draws from several well-known methods to tailor work to each client. She uses client-centered techniques to follow the client's lead, cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and elements from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used to build momentum and highlight what’s already working.

She has supported people through transitions such as parenting shifts, blended family issues, and midlife reevaluation. Rachel also helps with mood disorders, seasonal mood changes, communication problems, and challenges rooted in family of origin dynamics.

Sessions are conducted in English and Rachel practices in Michigan. People who want to begin can use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist creates space for people to talk through what matters most and then helps them set steps that feel doable. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses homework-like practice to change patterns that keep stress and anxiety alive.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Rachel will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with open conversation, then adding CBT exercises or teaching emotion regulation skills from DBT when helpful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and check in from a quieter spot during a work break. It also allows for shorter or more frequent appointments when that helps maintain progress. If you have questions about how sessions are scheduled or formatted, check the session options during the matching process.
