About Rachel
Rachel Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with eight years of experience. She practices from Florida and works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, and anger among other concerns. Rachel uses practical talk and evidence-based tools in sessions.
She focuses on what is happening now and how to change it. Sessions commonly include checking how feelings show up in behavior, identifying thoughts that fuel strong reactions, and practicing new ways to respond. Rachel draws on cognitive-behavioral and client-centered ways of working to keep conversations clear and concrete.
Her background includes work across inpatient and outpatient settings earlier in her career. That experience exposed her to addiction, trauma, eating-related problems, and complicated family dynamics. She brings lessons from those settings into one-to-one work with adults who want different results from their relationships and moods.
Rachel uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, and she offers EMDR when it fits the client's needs. Motivational Interviewing appears in work where changes around substance use or other patterns are a focus.
In sessions she favors an interactive style with straightforward suggestions and skill practice. People often leave with small, usable steps to try between meetings. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the site.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual. It helps people feel heard and used to guide what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical tools to change them, which is useful for anger, anxiety, and depression.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches clear skills for regulating emotion, tolerating distress, and improving communication. Those skills are often practiced in session and assigned as short exercises between meetings. Rachel will discuss these options with each person and decide together what feels most useful based on goals, needs, and preferences.
Many people find online sessions fit better into a busy life because they remove travel time and make scheduling easier. Online work also lets a therapist and client quickly review skill sheets, worksheets, or short recordings during a meeting. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available formats before booking so you know how meetings will take place. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable within everyday routines.
