Kristi Rachal

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’ve been practicing for more than 20 years. I’ve worked in prisons, hospitals, private practice, home health and hospice. I’ve worked with Veterans and active duty military members and their families. I have experience in sex offender treatment, anger management, addictions counseling and LGBTQ+ issues. I’ve worked with families, individuals and couples in a private practice setting. My approach is informal-I prefer my clients feel comfortable and at-ease. Time with me should feel safe. I believe in accountability and am solution-focused. By using Cognitive-Behavioral techniques, my goal is to help clients learn to take control of their thoughts and feelings and implement coping skills to improve their day-to-day lives.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether online therapy can make a real difference in their lives. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

A key advantage is flexibility – you can connect with a therapist in the way that feels most comfortable for you, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That range of options often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals deliver care online, and if you find you need a different fit you can switch therapists at any time. The combination of accessibility, multiple communication options, and evidence of effectiveness makes online therapy a practical choice for many people seeking support.
