About Rachael

Rachael Izquierdo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 26 years of clinical experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. She focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, attention concerns such as ADHD, behavioral challenges, and relationship difficulties.

Background and approach

Her practice concentrates on family life, parenting skills, teen struggles, and improving communication at home while attending to emotional health and wellness. Rachael integrates evidence-based methods to address a wide range of issues including stress, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, and coping with life changes.

She also pays attention to related areas like adoption and foster care, attachment issues, body image, eating and food-related problems, impulsivity, isolation, and self-harm. Based in Florida, she brings a collaborative, client-focused style that aims to match therapeutic tools to each person’s needs and goals.

Outside of work she values yoga, cooking, music, and time with family and her two dogs.

Approaches for online care and practical flexibility

Rachael uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s perspective, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental stance that helps clients explore goals and values while guiding change. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also a core tool she applies to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and attention-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together; she collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That process may involve trying techniques from different approaches and adapting them as progress unfolds, with the client’s input shaping the plan.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life is unpredictable. These formats support flexible pacing, allow for skills practice between sessions, and help people connect with a licensed professional from their own location in Florida or wherever they are able to participate.
