Rachel Chernow, LCPC

Rachel Chernow is a licensed clinical professional counselor based in Maryland. She draws on 13 years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Rachel aims to build a respectful, warm connection so people feel heard from the start.

She begins work by listening closely to what matters most to each person. That first focus on the relationship guides how she shapes care. Rachel uses straightforward conversation, gentle challenge, and practical skills so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.

Her approach blends client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to address mood concerns such as bipolar symptoms, grief, sleep problems, and anger, as well as relationship and family stress. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, and career or money worries.

Rachel trained at Johns Hopkins University and has worked in both private practice and community-based settings. She holds an LCPC in Maryland and brings years of varied experience to each appointment.

Sessions focus on clear goals and gradual steps people can use in daily life. Rachel works collaboratively to adapt methods to each person's needs, helping clients learn tools for managing symptoms, improving communication, and coping with big transitions.

How Rachel Uses Talk, Skills, and Mindfulness Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection so people feel understood and can bring up what worries them. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to work through emotions and relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and managing mood shifts by breaking problems into small, doable steps.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple breathing and attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These exercises can help with stress, sleeplessness, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Rachel works collaboratively with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. She adjusts methods over time based on what works and what doesn’t.
