About Rachael

Rachael Fowler is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, and compassion fatigue. Rachael also lists family and parenting as focus areas and supports people dealing with blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver stress.

Her sessions move at a practical pace. She helps clients talk through current problems and learn specific ways to manage strong emotions. Rachael uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take action aligned with those values.

Rachael also draws on client-centered and motivational interviewing approaches. That means she listens for what matters to each person and encourages small, doable changes. She helps people work out communication problems, commitment worries, boundary setting, and codependency without jargon.

She has particular experience with attachment and abandonment issues, body image and identity concerns including LGBT topics, and the effects of trauma such as dissociation or domestic violence. Rachael supports clients coping with life changes like relocation, loss, or shifts in caregiving roles.

Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. Sessions focus on practical strategies you can use between meetings and on clearer ways to understand difficult reactions. People who want direct feedback and tools for everyday life may find this approach useful.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, grief, and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which often helps with anxiety, mood problems, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan over time. That makes the process collaborative and practical rather than fixed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can use ACT and CBT tools effectively in conversation, worksheets, and structured exercises during remote meetings to support day-to-day coping and clearer communication.
