She focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by parenting, relationships, and family life. Her tone is practical and calm, aimed at people looking for steady support through hard moments.

Rachael works with common struggles like attention challenges, low self-esteem, anger, and problems with intimacy and communication. She also supports people facing addiction concerns, eating and body-image issues, questions around adoption and foster care, and healing after trauma and abuse. Her experience includes working with children, teens, and adults within family systems.

Her style blends client-centered listening with practical tools. Rachael draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, emotionally-focused ideas to strengthen bonds, and mindfulness practices to reduce stress.

Rachael uses a straightforward, collaborative approach. She helps people set small steps, practice new ways of talking, and develop habits that fit daily life. She values work-life balance herself and brings that perspective to therapy.

Rachael lives and practices in Florida. Outside of therapy she teaches trauma-informed yoga, cooks, listens to music, and spends time with her husband, children, and two dogs. Contact through the site to start the matching process and see if she might be a good fit.

How Rachael’s approaches fit into online therapy

Rachael blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused methods. Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing the person’s experience and shaping sessions around their priorities, which helps when someone needs acceptance and space to tell their story. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and attention challenges. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) looks at how people connect and communicate, which can help with relationship and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try agreed strategies, and adjust what’s used over time. That collaborative process helps match techniques to the person’s needs rather than prescribing one fixed method.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or let someone join without being on camera if that feels better. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT worksheets, mindfulness practices, and emotionally-focused conversations to an online setting so people can practice skills between sessions and apply them in everyday routines.
