Her approach is trauma-informed, combining compassionate, nonjudgmental engagement with practical planning. She draws on holistic treatment planning and centers each person’s strengths when working on stability, safety planning, and parenting concerns specific to younger caregivers. She also addresses a range of mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, sleep difficulties, and relationship or family issues.

Sessions are tailored to individual goals, with dialogue and treatment plans adjusted to meet the needs of those facing recent crises or longer-standing trauma.

Online sessions and therapeutic style
Rachel offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are used to carry out collaborative work focused on the issues she documents most often, including trauma recovery, crisis planning, life transitions, and parenting challenges for young caregivers. The online options are presented as multiple ways to maintain ongoing therapeutic contact and to match individual communication preferences.
Her clinical toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-based approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is described in accessible terms as a way to clarify values and commit to meaningful action while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior and to develop skills to change unhelpful cycles. Mindfulness techniques are incorporated to increase present-moment awareness and stress management.
Sessions are collaborative and interactive, informed by trauma-aware principles, and tailored to each person’s goals. Rachel integrates motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when appropriate to support exploration of personal stories and to build motivation for change while working through practical safety and stability concerns.
