About Rachael

Dr. Rachael Baker welcomes people seeking clearer direction and practical strategies for everyday challenges.

Background and approach

She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. Dr.

Baker's work focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, grief and anger, and a range of mood and coping difficulties.

Her background includes practice in both personal and agency settings and training through Capella University, where she earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and a PhD in Counseling Studies. Her therapeutic stance emphasizes attentive listening, empathy, and an inclusive perspective that respects each person's circumstances and values.

She draws on evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-Focused Therapy to tailor interventions to each person's needs. Dr.

Baker aims to help clients identify change opportunities, build coping skills, and pursue goals with encouragement and practical support. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative approach that balances supportive conversation with concrete tools for managing mood, impulsivity, parenting stress, and relationship concerns.

She works in English and offers a variety of session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

How targeted approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Baker commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and related symptoms. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will explore a client's concerns, goals, and preferences together to shape a treatment plan and may combine techniques from different methods as needs evolve. This partnership helps tailor interventions so they fit the person's life and priorities.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can increase flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility limitations. These options allow for consistent skill practice between appointments and make it easier to schedule sessions from different locations while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
