Rachel Young, LPC

Rachel Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma and abuse. She also supports clients dealing with family conflict, relationship trouble, grief, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles. Rachel writes plainly and listens carefully so people can talk about what matters most to them.

She has worked in hospitals, school settings, and community mental health over the course of her career. That range of settings means she has experience with different life stages and challenges, including adolescents facing personal life changes. Rachel uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to help people find concrete steps forward.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills and emotional understanding. Cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness tools are part of her work when they fit a person's goals. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at relationship patterns and family dynamics.

Rachel aims to tailor each plan to the individual. She helps clients set realistic goals, try small experiments between sessions, and build on what works. The emphasis is on respectful, compassionate care and on making therapy feel approachable.

People who want a straightforward, collaborative counselor may find her style helpful. To get started she asks people to share what they want to change and then maps out clear next steps together.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationship patterns. It helps people notice repeating dynamics and try new ways of relating in their close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful thinking.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and the therapist check in together about what is helping and what needs to change.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in during a lunch break or between tasks. It can also let people work with licensed professionals who have specific experience with trauma and mood concerns without changing their daily routine.
