About Rachel
Rachel Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with eight years of experience. She practices from Florida and works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, addictions, trauma and related concerns that include codependency and eating issues.
Rachel uses straightforward, interactive conversations to help people sort problems and set practical next steps. She draws from client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice patterns, test different behaviors, and track what changes. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
When trauma is part of the picture she may work with EMDR to address disturbing memories and their effects. Motivational interviewing is used to help people move toward changes they actually want to make, especially around substance use or other behaviors that feel stuck. Sessions focus on skills people can use between visits as well as on understanding how past experiences shape present reactions.
Rachel has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and with a wide range of people across life stages. Her background includes supporting people with family of origin problems, blended family issues, abandonment and attachment struggles, and chronic health concerns that interact with mood and stress.
She conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Rachel’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on thoughtful, listening conversations. The therapist helps clarify what matters to the client and supports them in making choices and setting goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavior change. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with memory processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related distress when trauma is present.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Rachel will talk with each person about goals, past treatment, and what feels doable. Then she and the client choose whether to focus on skills training, trauma processing, motivation work, or a mix of methods. That selection can change as progress unfolds and needs shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from the day. Working this way still centers on building skills, practicing new responses between meetings, and tracking small changes over time.
