More about Rachel

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

As a licensed therapist in Colorado, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. I began my clinical work in outpatient settings, supporting individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness in Washington and later in Colorado. I went on to serve in crisis settings, where I provided in-the-moment support to individuals in jails, hospitals, homes, and community spaces—working with clients experiencing suicidal or homicidal thoughts, self-harm, and acute psychiatric distress.

I work with a wide range of clients, from adolescents (age 12+) to older adults, and have experience with diverse populations, including LGBTQ+ individuals and those navigating complex or chronic mental health conditions.

I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their inner world, process past experiences, and cultivate meaningful change. Through an eclectic, person-centered approach grounded in evidence-based practices—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), systems theory, and psychosocial developmental models—I help clients build new neural pathways, challenge unhelpful thought and behavior patterns moving toward greater emotional well-being.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
