About Rachel

Rachel Walters is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who blends trauma-informed care with practical skill-building to help people navigate major life changes and emotional recovery.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience and licenses in New York and Georgia, she centers therapy on respect, cultural sensitivity, and clients' existing strengths to foster stability and long-term safety. Rachel emphasizes a collaborative, compassionate stance that invites clients to set goals and participate actively in the work.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, and issues related to identity and life purpose.

She has particular experience supporting young adults and parenting women through crises such as housing instability, financial strain, and parenting-specific stressors, drawing on techniques that promote emotional regulation and practical problem-solving. Rachel also brings teaching and supervisory experience from social work settings, which informs her educational and empowering approach to therapy.

Clients can expect a nonjudgmental, interactive clinical relationship that adapts interventions to their circumstances and priorities. Rachel aims to help people move from crisis response toward sustainable coping, clearer priorities, and greater day-to-day stability.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult internal experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to improve daily functioning. Mindfulness-informed techniques encourage present-moment awareness and emotion regulation skills that support recovery from trauma and help manage stress and attention-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each person to explore what resonates, tailoring methods to fit individual goals, preferences, and practical needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. This means plans can shift over time as progress unfolds and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, making it easier to attend sessions around work, school, or caregiving commitments. These formats support ongoing access to licensed professionals and allow the practical application of ACT, CBT, and mindfulness skills between sessions for consistent progress and real-world practice.
