About Rachel
Rachel DeVita is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with 13 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, substance use concerns, relationship problems, and ADHD. Rachel also supports adults facing grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. Conversations tend to center on practical steps and coping skills. Rachel draws from cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused work while keeping the person’s goals at the center.
Her background includes work in community and residential settings where she supported adults with a wide range of needs. That experience informs how she helps people manage symptoms and day-to-day challenges. She has worked with survivors of physical and emotional trauma and with people addressing substance use and anger issues.
Rachel uses techniques from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That gives a mix of skill-building, present-focused problem solving, and attention to thoughts and emotions. Sessions often include practical exercises to practice between meetings.
She notes a particular history of offering gender-responsive care to women and their families, and she brings that perspective into conversations about parenting and family stress. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps with building clarity about goals and with feeling understood during hard conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and problems shift.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills between meetings in their everyday routines. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, Client-Centered methods, and DBT skills to remote sessions, using guided exercises, behavioral assignments, and mindful practices during meetings.
