About Rachel
Rachel Allison is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with five years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Rachel also supports clients dealing with parenting challenges, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. She draws on mindfulness and values-based work to help clients reconnect with what matters most to them.
Rachel combines several evidence-informed approaches to meet each person where they are. She uses cognitive behavior techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to build meaningful action even when feelings are hard.
Many people find her approach helpful when they're navigating life changes, divorce or separation, or the emotional effects of abandonment and attachment struggles. She also supports those coping with panic, social anxiety, and issues tied to guilt, shame, or isolation.
Sessions aim to help people improve sleep and daily routines, manage symptoms of ADHD, and reduce the impact of ongoing stress. Rachel invites clients to explore personal values, strengthen communication skills, and build small habits that add up to steady progress.
Approaches that guide online work and goals
Rachel commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take small steps that match their values. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep-related distress because it focuses on meaningful daily action rather than only changing feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going, and then practices new strategies. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, social phobia, and managing low mood or sleep disruption.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and try methods that fit each person. That collaborative process helps decide what tools and homework make the most sense for daily life.
Confirm the actual session formats before booking since options are not listed here. Online work can help sessions fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and make it easier to practice techniques at home or during a break. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness exercises, ACT values work, and CBT skill practice to a virtual setting so learning can continue between meetings.
