More about Rachel

- LCPC
As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, and work through challenges related to anxiety, self-esteem, and personal growth.
I bring a compassionate, holistic approach to therapy, with expertise in addressing women's issues, young adult transitions, family dynamics, and personal identity exploration. My therapeutic style is warm and collaborative, focusing on empowering clients to discover their inner strengths and create meaningful life changes.
Whether you're struggling with social anxiety, relationship patterns, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance. My approach honors each individual's unique journey, creating a supportive space for healing and personal transformation. My expertise is working with female clients and at this time I am only offering video and phone sessions, no chat sessions.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
