Rachel Lahasky

Rachel Lahasky, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Mississippi with 17 years of professional experience. Her work focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, self esteem, and career-related questions. She also attends to needs that overlap these areas such as caregiver stress, workplace and first responder issues, postpartum and perinatal concerns, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Her approach draws on clinical methods that include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She helps people explore patterns that contribute to anger, impulsivity, infidelity, communication difficulties, and commitment questions while also addressing co-morbidity and seasonal mood changes.

Rachel works from the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and has strengths to draw on when facing challenges. She supports motivated steps toward change and offers guidance that reflects the priorities a person brings to the work. The tone of her practice aims to be pragmatic and respectful of each individual or family situation.
