More about Rachel
- 23 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a PhD-trained Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in North Carolina and Ohio with over 24 years of experience. I practiced for many years while serving in the military. During that time, I routinely helped clients going through major life transitions and stressors, in addition to those who experienced trauma. Some of these transitions included occupational changes, marriage, the arrival of a new baby, health crises, and divorce – to name a few. I apply a strengths-based perspective and utilize this framework with clients through Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Hypnotherapy, EMDR, and Mindfulness practices.
Part of my life’s work has been to walk alongside people through life’s difficulties, joys, and other circumstances. I listen closely to my clients and provide a supportive space for them to harness their strengths to guide the path for discovery, healing, and transformation. I have spent many years studying and participating in psychological-spiritual work that encourages clients to practice unwavering self-care. My commitment to you is that no matter where you are on your journey I will hold the space for where you are and where you see yourself going. If this sounds like a fit for you, let’s get started.

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.
