About Rachel
Rachel’s approach centers on practical conversation and concrete steps. She treats clients as the expert on their own story and helps them notice strengths they can use. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at breaking down problems into manageable parts. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative ideas, solution-focused work, somatic awareness, and trauma-focused practices.
In therapy Rachel helps people talk through relationship patterns and how past hurts affect present life. She works with clients who are recovering from abuse or post-traumatic stress and who are coping with grief from separation or divorce. She also supports those dealing with social anxiety, shame, and the isolation that can come after big life changes.
Work with Rachel often includes setting short-term goals and trying specific strategies between sessions. She mixes talking with practical exercises that build skills in communication, emotional regulation, and self-understanding. Her aim is to help people find clearer options when they feel stuck.
Sessions are offered in English and American Sign Language. International clients are not accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Rachel integrates therapy approaches for online work
Rachel commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and solution-focused techniques. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks larger problems into smaller parts by linking thoughts, feelings, and actions and then trying clear strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate the person from a problem so new options can be noticed. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on brief, goal-oriented steps and on identifying what already works so sessions move toward practical change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative work. Rachel will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those priorities. She checks in and adjusts the plan as clients test new strategies between sessions.
The practical benefits of online work depend on the session formats available for booking. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before scheduling. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break at work or be more consistent with appointments.
