Rachel DiPippo, LMHC

Rachel DiPippo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of clinical experience based in Rhode Island. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, parenting challenges, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and codependency among other concerns.

Rachel takes a collaborative approach to setting goals. She adapts methods to the person and their situation instead of using the same plan for everyone. Sessions focus on identifying the patterns that keep someone stuck and on practical steps that feel doable between appointments.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, along with mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. That means sessions mix talking through current difficulties, reworking unhelpful thinking, trying small behavior changes, and reflecting on the stories people tell about themselves.

In the room she helps people notice how they respond to stress, to others' needs, and to strong emotions. She uses skill-building and short-term experiments to test new ways of setting limits, speaking up, and managing urges or cravings. Progress is tracked with clear, client-agreed goals.

Rachel has practiced across a range of settings over two decades. She invites clients to name the concrete changes they want, then focuses on steps toward those goals. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the listed booking steps to begin.
