Rachel Marmor, LMHC, LCMHC

Rachel Marmor is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC, LCMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings 12 years of mental health experience and focuses on trauma and abuse alongside anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, and relationship stress. Rachel aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

She tailors treatment to each person's needs rather than relying on a single method. Sessions focus on clear goals - both short term and longer term - and on building skills people can use between visits. Her style is empathetic and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on trust and safety in the working relationship.

Rachel uses a mix of evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness skills, and emotion-focused work to address symptoms and patterns. She also draws on approaches that support relationship repair and communication when that is relevant. These tools are offered in ways that match a person’s situation and values.

Her background includes work with substance-related issues, women’s reproductive mental health concerns, eating-related struggles, and complex trauma like sexual assault and abuse. She helps people who are wrestling with grief, parenting strain, anger, and life transitions to find clearer direction and better day-to-day coping.

Rachel invites people to speak honestly about what’s hardest and to try practical steps toward change. She works collaboratively to set priorities and track progress over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and choose values-based actions. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes by focusing on what matters and small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping after trauma. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets emotions and interaction patterns to improve connection and communication in relationships and can be helpful when relationship distress is present.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works with each person to test methods and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. Goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities guide which tools are used and how progress is measured.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make regular therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different methods translate well to remote work - from skills practice and behavioral experiments to emotion-focused conversations - and Rachel will discuss practical arrangements that suit a person’s rhythm and needs.
