Welcome! My name is Rachel and I am happy that you are here seeking guidance on your journey in life! Counseling is a great resource with a variety of tools that can help with a wide array of concerns. I congratulate you and your show of courage in taking this first step! I urge you to take some time to find the Counselor that is the right fit for you as we do not come 'one size fits all.' I will tell you a little bit about myself to help you decide:
With a Master's Degree in Community Counseling, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Missouri (License #2021020473) and have also held School Counseling Credentials. I have worked in public school systems and private practice allowing me to view situations from a multitude of perspectives. I have worked with children, teens, young adults, and adults on concerns such as behavior issues, stress, anxiety, relationships, and motivation. I tend to focus on the here-and-now and use techniques that are centered around you. I am here to help guide.
I pray you find the positive reassurances you are looking for on this journey! If you believe I may be the right fit, I look forward to hearing from you!
FYI: In terms of scheduling, I offer Live Sessions at times that accommodate the busy lives of my clients and of myself and my family. The earliest Live Session Appointments I have available begin at 9:00 PM. I know the late times are not a fit for everyone so I want to make sure this is known right from the start so there are no surprises.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Depression, Coping with life changes, Body Image, Commitment Issues, Divorce and Separation, Family Problems, Forgiveness, Money and Financial Issues, Narcissism, Pregnancy and Childbirth

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rachel Rippel. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Rachel was a great Listener. Since this was our first session I felt like I needed to get everything out so she’d have some idea where my head was. She listened very carefully and was able to connect with me on questions and understanding. I believe she has a good idea on how to start healing and making progress with my situation.
I am very thankful for that
