About Rachel
Rachel Lackovic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with 16 years of experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, relationship and family concerns, and a range of life changes. Rachel also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, eating issues, and caregiver stress.
She takes a client-centered approach and uses tools rather than presuming to be an expert on anyone else’s life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is her primary method, and she integrates mindfulness and solution-focused techniques as needed. Rachel also has experience leading Wellness Recovery Action Planning groups.
In sessions she aims to help people set practical goals and try small changes that build over time. She describes the work as collaborative - the person sets the destination and she offers a map and suggestions. That means framing problems into manageable steps and tracking progress from one session to the next.
Rachel often helps people untangle communication problems, control issues, codependency, and feelings of guilt or shame. She has worked with hoarding behaviors, chronic illness and pain, fertility and caregiver concerns, and aging-related issues. Her practice includes attention to career stress and self-esteem challenges.
Her style is direct and practical. She encourages taking responsibility for choices while recognizing setbacks happen. People who want clear strategies, thought-based tools, and steady follow-through may find her methods useful.
How Rachel blends approaches and online sessions
Rachel relies heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. CBT breaks larger problems into thoughts and behaviors and helps people try small experiments to change patterns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person in charge of goals and decisions while the therapist offers guidance and feedback.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice automatic reactions and gain greater control over strong emotions. Mindfulness practices tend to be brief and can support anger management, stress reduction, and better focus in daily life.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Then she suggests tools and checks in regularly to adjust the plan together.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules require, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills between sessions in real-life settings and then bring those experiences back to talk through with a therapist.
