About Rachel

Rachel Keefer is an LCPC who centers her work on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and challenges related to ADHD.

Background and approach

With three years of professional experience as a licensed clinical practitioner in Illinois, she draws on a practical, mind-body oriented perspective to support clients navigating health concerns, caregiving demands, chronic illness, and life transitions. She emphasizes education and collaborative goal setting, helping clients build healthy habits and practical strategies to improve daily functioning and emotional well-being.

Rachel aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can explore difficult emotions, process loss, and find clearer direction and purpose. Her practice also addresses issues such as panic, somatization, isolation, and the stressors associated with pregnancy, seasonal mood shifts, and end-of-life matters.

Sessions are offered in English and Rachel accepts international clients. She uses flexible virtual formats to meet people where they are and supports a step-by-step approach to change, combining insight, skill-building, and realistic planning to help clients move toward greater stability and meaning.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Rachel uses well-supported therapeutic techniques to address emotional and functional concerns. One approach focuses on practical skill-building to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping; this involves identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new responses, and creating stepwise plans to manage stress and panic. Another approach emphasizes integrating mind-body strategies and healthy habits to support mood, energy, and chronic illness management, combining education with concrete lifestyle goals to improve overall functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachel works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, adjusting techniques and pacing so the work feels manageable and aligned with the client’s values.

Online therapy with Rachel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and accessible for people with busy lives or health limitations. These formats allow ongoing check-ins, skills practice between sessions, and timely support while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
