Hello,
My name is Rachel Fan. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with 4 years of therapeutic experience and almost 10 years total of professional exposure to various people groups and needs. I have helped others with stress, anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, & coping with life changes among others. I believe that you have been equipped with what is necessary so that you can overcome the challenges in this life. It takes courage to acknowledge the difficulties in this world and humility to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support & encourage you in that journey.
In our time together, I will provide support through a biblical Christian worldview. It's important that your values and beliefs are in a safe place. My use of a client-centered approach desires to meet you where you are at while also providing (hopefully) helpful truths to point you in the right direction. I enjoy using components from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused therapy, among others and I want you to get the best therapist fit. Feel free to schedule a session with me if you are interested in further discussing where you're at and what you'd like help with. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
What matters most is that you get the care you need. I hope the best for you whichever you choose.
All the best,
Rachel

About online counseling

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.
