About Rachel
Rachel Anauo is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship and family concerns. Rachel also addresses issues such as addiction, self-esteem struggles, and codependency.
Her sessions start with listening to what feels most urgent. She helps people name problem patterns, including people-pleasing and trouble saying no. Then she offers practical skills for handling upsetting thoughts and strong emotions. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what will help day to day.
Rachel draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She uses Mindfulness to teach attention and grounding skills. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused ideas guide short-term goals and next steps. Narrative work helps people reframe painful stories about themselves.
She integrates faith when clients want that included, and she respects clients who do not want it discussed. Sessions often focus on setting boundaries, coping with loss, addressing substance concerns, and managing career or caregiving stress. Rachel aims to help people find clearer choices in sticky relational situations.
Clients can expect work that balances reflection and action. Rachel helps people build small habits that reduce overwhelm. She also supports revisiting past hurts so they weigh less in current relationships. Practical tools and clear pacing are central to her approach.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Rachel frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep repeating. She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and grounding techniques that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify goals and resolve mixed feelings about change.Choosing the right mix of these methods is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will review what is working and what isn’t, then adjust techniques and pacing to match the client’s goals and daily life. That process includes setting short-term steps and checking progress regularly.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people sustain regular work on boundaries, coping skills, and managing cravings or stress without promising particular outcomes.
