About Rachel
Rachel Krier is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Minnesota with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. Rachel speaks English and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address what is happening now. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep someone stuck - for example people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or getting lost in a relationship. Rachel works with clients to clarify goals and try small experiments between sessions.
Rachel pays attention to how life roles and responsibilities affect mental health. She supports caregivers and people dealing with financial or work stress, first responder stress, and the fallout of separation or infidelity. She also helps people who feel isolated, who struggle with panic, or who wrestle with guilt and shame.
In sessions she uses straightforward conversation and practical exercises. Clients can expect help sorting out communication problems, control issues, and impulsive reactions. Rachel also addresses questions about life purpose and motivation as part of everyday therapy work.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Clients complete small steps, notice what changes, and adjust the plan as needed. To start, a short questionnaire and a scheduled first session are the next steps for people interested in working with her.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in session. One common approach involves identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and then trying small, structured experiments to change them. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and people-pleasing behavior.Another frequently used approach focuses on processing reactions to trauma and abuse through gradual, paced work. That method supports people who feel overwhelmed by past events and who want to reduce their day-to-day reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting methods, and agreeing on short-term steps to test between sessions.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know how appointments fit your routine. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around caregiving, shifts, or busy days, and it can reduce time spent traveling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that better fits a day. Ask about the specific session options when you complete the matching questionnaire.
