About Rachel

Rachel Allison is an Ohio-licensed LPCC who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She guides clients through challenges like sleep disruption, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, and life transitions, and also addresses related themes such as self-esteem, communication struggles, attachment and abandonment wounds, and loneliness. Her style blends empathy with evidence-based techniques, creating a space where personal values and spiritual concerns can be honored while working toward practical change.

Using approaches drawn from ACT, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and client-centered therapy, she supports clients in building coping skills, improving self-love, and strengthening interpersonal connections. Rachel brings five years of clinical experience to her practice and aims to help people develop resilience and clearer direction as they move through difficult periods.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to act in line with those values despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more adaptive strategies, which can help with panic, social anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple skills to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting stress management and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and the nature of their concerns, and then adapt methods so the work fits the client's needs and values. Sessions can blend elements from different approaches as appropriate.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care from home. These formats let licensed professionals deliver structured, skill-based work and ongoing support while accommodating different communication styles and life demands.
