Rae Carnevale
I am a licensed mental health clinician based in Southern Colorado with over seven years of professional experience. I support clients navigating stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, career challenges, grief, and identity exploration. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based modalities, including CBT, DBT skills, and solution-focused strategies. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can share your thoughts and feelings openly and explore what matters most to you. I currently offer live messaging appointments paired with asynchronous messaging support. This format can help reduce common barriers to treatment by increasing flexibility, allowing clients to engage in therapy in real time while also having space to reflect and respond at their own pace between sessions. It can support continuity of care during busy schedules, reduce missed appointments due to time constraints, and make it easier to access support during moments when scheduled sessions may not be feasible. It also allows clients time to process thoughts more fully, which can be especially helpful for those who benefit from reflection before responding. For individuals who experience anxiety about traditional talk therapy, live messaging sessions can feel less intimidating and more structured. Many clients find it easier to express themselves in writing rather than speaking in real time, which can reduce performance pressure, help slow down overwhelming emotions, and allow for more thoughtful communication. The written format can also provide a sense of emotional safety and distance that makes it easier to begin discussing difficult topics, especially early in the therapeutic process. I believe that every person’s story is unique, and I work with clients to build self-awareness, resilience, and practical tools for managing life’s challenges. Therapy is a journey, and I am here to support and empower you every step of the way. My sessions are available in the evenings on weekdays and weekends to help make therapy more accessible for busy lifestyles.

Finding a therapist near you in Silverthorne, Colorado starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals.

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.
Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Colorado, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Colorado, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals.
