About Rachel
Rachel Garrett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, AL LICSW, with three years of clinical experience. She trained at Troy University and has worked in several care settings. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, relationship and parenting concerns.
Her background includes work with child abuse and neglect for the Department of Human Resources, juvenile justice, incarcerated adults, and inpatient geriatric psychiatric care. That variety shaped how she approaches common problems like mood shifts, anxiety, bipolar conditions, and compassion fatigue.
Rachel favors straightforward methods. She uses client-centered work to hear what matters to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach practical skills for mood and behavior changes.
In sessions she focuses on listening and helping people set achievable goals. Conversations tend to move from identifying immediate problems to building small, usable coping strategies. She aims to help clients manage stressors and reduce the things that worsen anger and overwhelm.
Her style is direct and goal-oriented. People who want clear techniques and steady support may find her approach useful. She works in English and bases her practice in Alabama.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on understanding what matters to the person and building a working relationship that guides each session. That approach helps when someone needs to talk through triggers for anger and decide on small changes to try between meetings.Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and to test different responses. It is useful for work stress, relationship frustration, and breaking reactive patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, offering concrete techniques for managing intense feelings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together over time.
