About Rachael

Rachael McPheron is an Ohio-licensed social worker (LISW) with 11 years of clinical experience helping people navigate relationship challenges, family conflict, depression, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on evidence-based methods to guide conversations about what feels blocked or painful, and she focuses on building practical skills alongside deeper emotional work. Her practice emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and consider new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Rachael integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and narrative techniques to address concerns like grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, ADHD, mood disorders, and parenting stress. She aims to support clients in clarifying goals, reducing distress, and strengthening day-to-day coping.

Rachael invites individuals who are ready to make changes to work collaboratively toward greater resilience and well-being. Her style is warm and encouraging while remaining goal-oriented, helping people take practical steps toward a more fulfilling life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Rachael commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-based strategies in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve functioning, which can help with depression, anxiety, and mood-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills to manage stress, emotion regulation, and symptoms related to trauma or compassion fatigue.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to explore their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adjusting methods over time so therapy remains responsive to changing needs and priorities.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity when in-person visits are difficult, and support steady access to therapeutic tools and short-term coaching between sessions.
