About Rachel

Rachel Walters is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She writes and talks plainly in sessions and centers what matters most to each person. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and more able to manage day-to-day challenges.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try small, doable changes.

Background and approach

Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to create a respectful, accepting space. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to boost motivation for change. Rachel has six years of practice and has worked with young adults and marginalized youth in settings that included teaching and supervision roles.

That background shapes a practical focus on life transitions like housing or financial stress and challenges related to parenting and early adulthood. In sessions she helps people with sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and relationship and communication difficulties. She also supports those coping with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, post-traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue by outlining clear steps and coping tools.

Her style is calm, nonjudgmental, and interactive. She partners with each person to set doable goals, practice skills, and track progress over time.

Online support

Using ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Care Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, so they can commit to actions that align with their values. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and taking small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, accepting relationship so people feel heard and can explore goals at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that suit you, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find tools that fit your life and needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for a full conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, flexible touchpoints during a busy day. These options help therapy fit into work, school, or caregiving routines.
