About Rachel
Rachel Allison is an Ohio LPCC with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship and family concerns, and social anxiety and phobia. Rachel also supports those coping with grief, sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and changes that come with major life transitions.
She keeps sessions direct and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now, how it affects daily life, and what small steps can help. Rachel uses approaches that encourage noticing thoughts, trying new behaviors, and building skills for handling strong feelings.
Rachel often helps clients who struggle with attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, or the aftermath of separation and divorce. She also supports people managing guilt, shame, isolation, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. Work in sessions may include practicing grounding, adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns, and rehearsing social interactions.
Her methods draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness practices. These tools are used to reduce overwhelm, increase focus on personal values, and teach emotion regulation skills.
Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the individual's comfort. Rachel respects clients' values and life contexts while helping them identify goals and workable steps. People who want clear strategies alongside reflective conversation often find this style useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. Online work with ACT can help people who feel stuck by practicing small, values-based steps between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches tools to test and change unhelpful thinking. In remote sessions CBT can include simple exercises and behavior experiments to try during the week.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Rachel will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean mixing mindfulness skill practice with CBT-style experiments or using DBT strategies for strong emotions when needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick support session is needed. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in real-world settings and report back about how they went during the next meeting.
