About Rachel
Rachel Palmore is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem concerns, parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, anger, and career questions. Her practice also addresses ADHD, bipolar concerns, seasonal affective disorder, and topics related to adoption, foster care, multicultural issues, prejudice, and women's issues.
She favors straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions often include reflecting on feelings, learning coping skills, and trying new ways of approaching difficult situations. Rachel uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs rather than one fixed method.
In sessions she draws on client-centered work to listen and prioritize the person's experience. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck. Emotionally-focused ideas help people notice patterns in close relationships that affect their daily life.
Rachel describes her style as both warm and objective. She encourages people to explore changes that can create more positive moments day to day. That might include small behavioral experiments, focused conversation about difficult feelings, or setting practical goals for parenting, work, or relationships.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across different settings over two decades. People who choose her often want clear conversations, skills they can use between sessions, and someone who listens with attention to cultural and adoption-related issues.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them, which can be useful for parenting stress and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers exercises to change unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, often useful for anxiety, depression, and anger.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional patterns in relationships. It helps people spot recurring interaction cycles and practice different responses to improve connection and reduce conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client’s goals and day-to-day life. That choice can shift as progress is made and as new concerns come up.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm which session types are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT exercises or emotion-focused check-ins to work well in virtual appointments when the format is agreed on in advance.
