About Rachel
Rachel Thornburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience based in Idaho. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, addiction, trauma and abuse, ADHD, grief, depression, and other concerns including codependency. Rachel speaks English and approaches sessions with a focus on practical steps people can use right away.
She helps people who keep putting others first, struggle to say no, or feel lost in relationships. In sessions she talks through what is happening and helps identify small changes that reduce overwhelm. Rachel also supports those facing substance use challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
Rachel combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. That means she listens to how a person describes their life, and then offers straightforward ways to test new behaviors and thoughts. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for relationship patterns and the Gottman Method when communication and connection are central topics.
Sessions are practical and paced to the person. Rachel helps people build coping skills, set clearer boundaries, and notice unhelpful thinking. She also works with issues like abandonment, body image, gender dysphoria, and first responder stress when relevant.
Her practice uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the site's online steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening to how a person describes their life and priorities. In online work this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting concerns and asking questions that clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes. Online CBT often uses short practice assignments between sessions and clear steps to try at home. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationship patterns and guides people to express needs differently; this can be useful when relationship dynamics are a central concern.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options, try methods that fit the client's goals, and adjust as progress and comfort indicate. Clients help decide what to focus on and which techniques feel most helpful.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can still make therapy easier to fit into daily life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a lunch break, or video work can allow for shared worksheets and in-the-moment practice. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while juggling work, family, and other commitments.
