More about Rachel

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor with 14 years experience. I have worked in a variety of settings, these include a hospital setting, the school system, and community mental health. I have worked with clients of all ages with a variety of experiences to include abuse/trauma, mood disorders, relationship issues, family concerns, and self esteem.

My therapeutic approach is to provide solution focused and client centered techniques to empower clients to address day to day stressors and predicaments. I have especially enjoyed working with adolescents who face a variety of personal life challenges. I believe in treating each client with respect and compassion. I have been told I am easy to talk to and help people feel comfortable in opening up about their personal problems and concerns. I will tailor each treatment plan to help individuals achieve the goals they have set for themselves.

I look forward to working with you!

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

May 2023

I love working with Rachel. Every session is something to look forward to. She’s helped me with my anxiety and depression so greatly!

Apr 2023

Rachel Young has been my therapist for a few months now and she is great. 10/10 would recommend. She validates me and makes me feel heard and seen. She is always professional and I hope to continue seeing her for a very long time. I was matched with Rachel when I first stared using BH and I was, of course, nervous, but she was so caring and easy to talk to that we instantly clicked. Very happy to have found her.

Apr 2023

Rachel has helped me out a lot! She was the second person I was matched with and I have been seeing her for almost a year and I went from being at one of my lowest points in a while, to getting back at it and being successful.

Mar 2023

She is amazing in everyway. I will follow her if she ever moves to a different platform. It's because of her that I had faith in signing up my son with Teen Counseling. So...yes! If you can see her, do it! She's very knowledge, quirky, and really exhausts all resources to help you.

Mar 2023

Rachel is fantastic! She is so easy to open up to and communicate with. I cannot imagine having any other therapist!

Feb 2023

Rachel has been a heaven sent angel to me! She listens with compassion, helps me see from a different perspective, makes me feel heard and seen and like there is hope for recovery. I highly recommend her!

Apr 2023

Rachel has been with me for a month. And she provides the exact kind of support I need and want. She makes me feel heard and just supported in what I'm going through without parenting me. It's very confidence building for me and I'm very thankful to have someone so empathetic and intuitive.

Feb 2023

Rachel is awesome! I look forward to our sessions each week.

Jan 2023

Rachel is the best! We’ve been talking for a little over a year. I have made great strides in the right direction. She really cares, responds to messages as soon as she can and goes the extra mile to make sure I’m okay. I highly recommend her.

Dec 2022

Rachel has really helped me during a low point of my life. She is able to put things in perspective, while also continuing to validate my feelings. Overall, I have felt more empowered each time our video calls end. I thoroughly enjoy meeting with her, and I look forward to our sessions each week. Thank you Rachel!

Nov 2022

Extremely personable and helpful in finding ways to cope and overcome my new “friend,” anxiety. I am very grateful

Oct 2022

I believe Rachel really understands my fears & has concern for my wellbeing & making me look to the brighter side of things or at least find a little humor when life is getting the better of me. She has me dig deep to try to find something positive in my day or to do for myself. She makes a difference in how I see things.

Sep 2022

I have been working with Rachel for about a year now. I started with, and continue to, battle anxiety and stress as part of my daily life. Rachel always listens to what I have to say and she helps me to be strong enough to help other people that I need to help. Without her I would be overly anxious, overly stressed and depressed. I know that as a fact because she helped me to alleviate those symptoms in the beginning by meeting with her weekly and just having the best face to face discussions. I was comfortable with Rachel right from the beginning . She’s very personable, easy to talk to and listens very well. She remembers things from week to week that I don’t and helps me continue working through an issue until it is actually resolved, instead of just putting it in the back of my mind. I highly recommend working with Rachel. She is very knowledgeable AND she is very kind and compassionate. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

T.O.·Aug 2022

I have been with Rachel for about 6 months now. She is a great therapist and has helped me through some difficult times. I have learned a lot from her.

N.I.·Aug 2022

Rachel is fantastic. Over about three or four months of work, she has helped me to stop filling my head with negative self talk. Rachel is assisting me in rebuilding my relationship with myself after having many unhelpful influences on how I view myself. She is stable, intuitive, smart, helpful, compassionate, creative, and an overall delight to speak to on a weekly basis. I always leave my sessions feeling more grounded and confident in how to walk forward with my week. Rachel helps to foster positive habits and self care and she is an amazing person.

C.A.·Aug 2022

Rachel is caring and kind while being thought provoking. I have enjoyed every visit and she has helped me tremendously.

E.M.·Aug 2022

She gave me some tips that would be very unfeasible (like leave my very young child alone in the home) when I said childcare was difficult to find. But she is a good therapist overall.

C.H.·Aug 2022

She does respond in a timely manner, I miss clicked the button. But she’s great and very easy to talk to and cares about what I’m saying like she has emotional investment which means a lot.

C.A.·Jul 2022

Love this therapist. She's understanding, great to talk to and gives sound advice. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking help.

E.D.·Jun 2022

Helpful and patient in letting me dictate my own road to mental recovery!

Z.A.·May 2022

The areas where I put mostly agree are due to my issues not hers for the understanding my concerns because I have a hard time opening up

C.H.·May 2022

Rachel Young has made me feel comfortable and safe since the first session. I came to BetterHelp after seeing ads on TV. I have been stressed with life and graduate school and wanted a therapist who would understand me and help me form better habits. Rachel is fantastic and helps me to set achievable goals and improve my relationship with myself. Her sense of humor, professional expertise, and kind demeanor make it easy to look forward to sessions with her. I would recommend Rachel, and BetterHelp, to any friend or colleague.

C.A.·May 2022

So far, she is great. We are fairly new to working though.

K.E.·Apr 2022

Rachel Young is very kind and listens very well. I look forward to our session.

L.E.·Apr 2022

Rachel is a delight to work with. She has a thoughtful response to what you say, and works to understand you as an individual. Her guidance and advice are equally as calculated and genuine. I look forward to each of our sessions.

C.A.·Mar 2022

She’s provided me a great deal of support, understanding, encouragement, and guidance. Our sessions have equal parts humor and “realness” and through them I am learning healthy habits and gradually becoming a more successful version of myself.

A.M.·Mar 2022

Rachel listens to me and offers her expertise. She also challenges me for our next meeting which is very helpful.

A.R.·Mar 2022

She very patient and understanding

V.I.·Mar 2022

She has been wonderful helping me with anxiety and grief.

E.M.·Mar 2022

Rachel has been great and extremely kind to me. I’m glad to have matched with her

J.E.·Mar 2022

Rachel Young has been stability for me. I am often high functioning and do not realize when I need help from an outside source until it is often too late. Having Rachel there helps me begin to find a way to better myself and how to make areas that are weak, manageable again. There are still days where it is tough, but Rachel finds a way to let me talk, listen to me when I make no sense, and really sympathize, empathize, and question why I feel the way I feel. I happily recommend Rachel Young to anyone that needs someone to listen and feel like while it is difficult you are moving forward and picking up the pieces. She has a sense of humor, she lets you feel what you feel, and she can be there for you on your way to self healing/mental check ups.

J.A.·Mar 2022

Rachel has helped me through a very difficult season in life. She has been kind, available, helpful, professional, and simply a wonderful human being since we started working together. Ms. Young does an excellent job pointing out the blind spots in life, the kind of issues that truly help after you begin addressing them. Rachel is also very real. This is easily one of the top reasons I've enjoyed working with her so much.

B.R.·Feb 2022

She does a great job listening and helping understand different perspective about situations

M.A.·Jan 2022

Rachel has truly helped me get to a much better place mentally. Every week, helps me understand why I feel the way I feel

D.A.·Dec 2021

Very easy to talk to and is very relatable. She really listens and provides insight and solutions that are based on you

B.R.·Dec 2021

She was amazing! She had such a well rounded perspective on things that helped me through my issues. Highly recommend!

T.Y.·Dec 2021

Rachel Young is an excellent Counselor and listens to me without judgment. I look forward to our weekly appointments and highly recommended her.

T.O.·Dec 2021

Rachel has been very helpful in my journey with anxiety & depression.

S.H.·Nov 2021
