Rachael combines client-centered conversations with strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches.
Rachael draws on six years of professional experience as an LMHC, licensed mental health counselor in New York. She aims to create a calm, focused space for parents and individuals to try new ways of coping. Her style is collaborative - she asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people set steps they feel ready to take.

Online approaches that focus on goals and coping
Client-centered work means meeting people where they are and following their priorities. It involves listening closely, reflecting what the client says, and helping them decide which changes matter most to them. This approach supports people who need help clarifying next steps or feeling heard.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and ADHD-related challenges because it helps break patterns that keep problems going.
Mindfulness therapy encourages simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These tools can be useful for stress, trauma-related symptoms, and managing strong emotions in everyday moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with a client-centered conversation, adding CBT techniques, and using mindfulness practices between sessions.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what would work best for your routine and needs.
