About Me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor from South Carolina and a Board Certified through the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC). I have experience working with adolescents and adults. I provide personal counseling. I have worked with clients across a wide range of concerns including addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and struggles while parenting. I also have experience working with individuals with career challenges and ADHD.

Although I have experience and training working with addictions, I have not been specifically trained to work with Sexual or Pornography Addictions. If this is a concern I would encourage you to look to a counselor overtly qualified in these areas.

My counseling style is warm, empathetic as well as client centered. I have found it works best to discuss the current concern and what attempts have already made toward resolving it. From there we are able to get to know one another and find alternative approaches to address you situation. Facts from your past can often shed unexpected light on finding relief in a current situation.

I often use Cognitive Behavioral approaches to assist individuals; although, my approach will shift to most accurately address the concerns shared with me. We will address plans and your progress toward your goals in session. Please discuss your comfort with the approaches with me regularly to ensure quicker success.

My main goal is to join you where you are and work with you to establish new approaches to solving your struggle(s).

I meet with subscribers using either VIDEO or PHONE conversations. While we can and will communicate a good amount via the message system, verbally communicating about your concerns leads to us discovering more fitting resolutions in a shorter timeframe.

If you are unable to make it to an appointment please give me 24 hours notice along with a date and time you wish to schedule our next meeting. I am available Monday through Wednesday on BetterHelp for meetings. I am seldom available for meetings on Thursday through Sunday. Meetings on these days may happen on a case-by-case basis but will not be regularly scheduled.

Are you ready to schedule our first session?

Raechel is a great listener. She adjusts her methods to fit the person she is counseling so that they fit the individual needs. She also assigns worksheets and activities to help the person learn and cope between sessions.

Rachael is a tremendous counselor with amazing insights into any situation I present to her. I always come away from our sessions with a clear understanding of the direction I need to go in.
Thank you Rachael!
