Rachel Lackovic, LCSW

Rachel Lackovic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strains, relationship and family problems, and codependency concerns. She also supports clients dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, chronic illness, caregiver stress, hoarding, and related life changes.

Rachel uses a person-centered stance. She treats the client as the expert on their life and brings practical tools to the sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and brief solution-focused steps are among the approaches she draws on to help people notice patterns and try different responses.

Sessions focus on concrete goals and what a person wants to change. Rachel helps people break big problems into small, doable steps. She uses motivational interviewing to clarify what matters most and to encourage steady progress toward those aims.

Her background includes many years working in clinical settings and leading groups such as Wellness Recovery Action Planning. That group experience informs how she supports people to plan, rehearse, and practice new skills between sessions. She pays attention to how systems around a person can help or get in the way.

Rachel aims to guide people toward clearer choices and stronger day-to-day coping. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with room to talk through grief, loss, or frustration as those issues come up. Her work suits people who want active, collaborative help to change patterns that are no longer working.
