Do you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed or boggled down with everyday stressors and struggles? We have all been there before. I believe that everyone needs a supportive, objective person to talk to when they are struggling and deciding which move to make next. I can be that supportive person for you. I have experience in substance abuse, child/adolescent counseling, anxiety/depression, coping skills, etc... My main goal as a counselor is to make a difference in the lives of others, and hopefully provide you with helpful tools for whatever journey you may be on in your life.
I have been in the counseling field since 2005. My roles in life are probably not much different from your own; I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, teacher, coach, and friend. Please allow me to utilize my professional and personal experience to help you with your current struggles.

I’ve just restarted therapy after many years, and I was very nervous (and had never done online therapy), but Rachel was so warm and welcoming! Before I knew it I was telling her all of my concerns and my whole life story, she’s very knowledgeable and is giving me great advice, resources, reading materials to help me navigate this hard time in my life.

Mrs Rachel has been a blessing to me, in my time of being a very dark place she gave me guidance to see my way out of it without being too pushy and forcing me, she wanted me to help myself. And I really needed that

Rachel is very thorough and to the point in discussions. She's very patient, insightful and has a lot of wisdom about how to tackle issues from my perspective and skill set. She gives me new ways to approach problems that are very realistic and possible. Even though I haven't been a patient of hers for long, I can already see a noticeable change in my mental health, my behavior, and in my life as a result. Thank you Rachel, you're the best!

I have just started working with Rachel James, and so far it is going great! She is prompt for our sessions and her warm and welcoming personality quickly put me at ease. She genuinely seems to care and wants to help. She offers good advice, without coming across as “preachy” or judgmental, and her personality inspires confidence that it’s ok to be totally honest and transparent. I am really glad that I got connected with her and am looking forward to continuing to work with her going forward.

Truly grateful for Rachel and her kindness. She listens well and provides feedback. I feel safe with her and grateful for her values. Would recommend her for sure.

Rachel is persistent in checking in on me, even when I have a difficult time asking for help. She listens to me & offers concise answers reminding me what's most important. I am too wordy & have difficulty expressing myself concisely. Her ability to sort through all my words & get to the point is extremely helpful to me.

Rachel has been a good resource for me as I deal with a recurring bout of panic attacks and anxiety. She is willing to offer coping mechanisms, exercises, or just be a good listener during video sessions, and she always responds quickly to messages.
