About Rachael
Rachael Lustfeldt helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She supports people facing life changes, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, and issues with self-esteem.

Rachael listens first and works from what each person brings to the session. She treats clients as the expert on their own life and helps them use their strengths.
Background and approach
Conversations aim to be practical and focused on what matters in day-to-day life. She uses approaches that help people change patterns that cause pain and find clearer ways to tell their story. Sessions include tools for coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, aging concerns, cancer, hospice and end-of-life questions, and grief after loss.
Rachael also addresses issues that come from trauma, domestic violence, or isolation. In sessions she may introduce strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reduce distress and build flexible coping. Narrative and solution-focused ideas help people reframe problems and set small, achievable goals.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort. Rachael offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. She practices in Georgia and works in English.
Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, grief, and coping with major life shifts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and it offers concrete skills for managing symptoms of depression and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll try methods that fit the person’s life and adjust the plan as needed so it feels useful and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work well during a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions.
