About Rachel
Rachel Allison is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with five years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, and relationship and family concerns.
She helps people talk through common parenting strains and the everyday weight of caring for others. She also works with people facing grief, sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Short-term goals and practical skills are often part of early sessions.
Her style draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take meaningful steps despite hard feelings.
Mindfulness practices and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills appear when managing intense emotions or panic. Client-Centered Therapy shapes conversations so the person leads the focus and pace.
Rachel describes her approach as faith-informed and respectful of personal values. She gives space to explore attachment, abandonment issues, communication problems, and the ripple effects of divorce or separation. She also addresses shame, guilt, self-love, and social anxiety.
People interested in working on parenting, women's issues, or ADHD-related struggles can expect practical strategies alongside reflective conversation. Sessions aim to balance skill building with attention to personal values and everyday responsibilities.
How sessions work
How Rachel uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people name what matters to them and take small actions that match those values, even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for handling life changes, grief, and ongoing anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms like panic, insomnia, or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness practices help manage strong emotions and improve stress tolerance and communication. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. Plans can shift as needs change and as skills are practiced between sessions. Confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people practice skills in their normal routines. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT or ACT tools for use in remote sessions so adults juggling parenting or caregiving can build useful habits alongside regular responsibilities.Areas of focus
