About Rachel
Rachel Horn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues including stress, anxiety, relationship and LGBT concerns, parenting, addiction, trauma and depression. Rachel lists family and parenting among her areas of focus and also addresses topics such as self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Her background includes several counseling approaches she draws on to match a client's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and take small, practical steps toward change. She also uses client-centered techniques and motivational interviewing to support discussion and decision-making.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Rachel leans toward straightforward, practical work - identifying what feels most pressing and testing out different strategies. She pays attention to relationship dynamics and parenting concerns, and she brings those into the conversation when relevant.
People come to her for help managing anxiety, navigating grief or relationship strain, addressing addiction-related behaviors, or finding clearer boundaries at home. She also lists additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
Her clinical training is recorded as LCSW, and she practices in California. Sessions are conducted in English. If you are considering work on family or parenting topics, review the online therapy options and the intake steps before scheduling a first appointment.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Rachel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. This can be useful for parenting stress, relationship uncertainty, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors; it often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT, and client-centered conversation so sessions address practical problems and personal priorities together.
Session formats are not listed in the original profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Rachel during the intake to decide how to structure appointments so they suit work, parenting, and daily routines.
