Hi my name is Rachel Locklear. I enjoy helping women overcome obstacles in their lives to empower them to put away hindrances that are blocking their full potential. My counseling approach is warm and relational. I enjoy assisting women in identifying and building on their strengths to help them reach their goals. I use a client-centered approach meaning I tailor my counseling practices to my client's specific needs.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida and a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice in the State of South Carolina. I have experience working with young women as they make relationship decisions, career choices and overcome emotional obstacles. I have also worked with families as they welcome children into their lives through foster care or adoption. In addition, I have experience in Medical Social work with the geriatric population and have assisted families in the adjustment of arranging for care for their aging loved ones.
Pursuing counseling is a wonderful first step to a more fulfilling life. I look forward to joining you on your journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
