About Rachel
Rachel Walters is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credentialed in New York and Georgia with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, sleeping problems, anger, and life transitions. Rachel also helps people dealing with ADHD, bipolar-related struggles, and issues connected to identity and relationships.
Rachel focuses on practical, conversational therapy. She listens for what matters most and helps people name patterns that make life harder. Sessions involve clear goals, simple tools, and check-ins on progress. The aim is to reduce immediate distress and create ways to handle hard moments more reliably.
Her background includes work with young adults and marginalized populations, and she has experience teaching and supervising in social work. That experience informs a straightforward style that emphasizes skill building and problem solving. Rachel uses a mix of methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and acceptance-based strategies to address symptoms and daily challenges.
In sessions she also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to help people clarify values, tell their story differently, and find workable steps forward. She pays attention to communication patterns and family of origin issues when those shape current stress. Practical planning around housing, work stress, and parenting strain is part of her toolkit when relevant.
People who contact her can expect focused conversation, concrete strategies, and collaborative planning. Rachel encourages small, sustainable changes that fit into everyday life and helps clients review what is and isn’t working as they move forward.
How ACT, CBT and Mindfulness are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and make choices consistent with those values. It can help when anger comes from frustration about life goals or ongoing problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for reducing reactive behavior and shifting automatic interpretations that fuel anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of bodily signals before anger escalates.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will ask about goals, try out methods, and adjust plans based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that blends talking, skill practice, and short exercises between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try methods like guided mindfulness or thought-record exercises in real time with support from a therapist.
