About Rachael
Rachael uses a calm, practical style in sessions. She listens so people can name what matters most. Then she and the client try small, concrete steps to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change.
Her work draws on a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods. That means she pays attention to thoughts and behaviors, values and choices, and the client’s perspective in shaping goals. Motivational interviewing and existential ideas also inform how she explores meaning, motivation, and hope.
Rachael has seven years of experience as a licensed professional counselor. She is licensed in South Carolina and Georgia and has supported people coping with abandonment, attachment concerns, domestic violence, dissociation, and caregiver stress. She also addresses blended family issues, body image, and communication or control challenges.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with pacing set by the person seeking help. The focus is on building practical skills, improving communication, and finding ways to tolerate hard feelings while moving toward clearer priorities.
How Rachael’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new patterns that reduce distress and improve daily routines. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and uses empathic listening to help them find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachael will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals, values, and comfort level. Sessions can mix techniques so the plan matches changing needs and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since the biography does not specify which online options are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. It can also let someone choose video when visual cues help, or an audio option when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical choices to help therapy fit everyday life.
