About Rachel
Rachel Thornburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience based in Idaho. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as phobias and panic. Rachel also supports clients facing grief, parenting challenges, ADHD symptoms, and issues around self-esteem and mood differences.
Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people identify what is getting in the way of daily functioning. Together they set small, concrete goals and try out skills that can be used between sessions. Rachel combines conversation with clear behavioral steps so people can see what changes feel realistic.
Rachel draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s experience. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thought and behavior that drive anxiety and panic. When relationship issues come up she applies principles from emotionally-focused work and the Gottman Method to improve communication and connection.
People meet with Rachel to work through triggers, manage panic attacks, reduce avoidance, and learn to speak up in social situations. She also provides support for people recovering from substance use and those processing loss or complicated trauma. Sessions aim to increase practical coping skills and day-to-day confidence.
Her LPC credential is shown as LPC. Sessions are conducted in English and are organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Rachel uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in straightforward ways. Client-centered work means the session follows the person’s concerns and priorities, letting them lead topics while the therapist reflects and clarifies. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and panic.She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas for relationship work. That approach concentrates on how people respond to each other in stressful moments and on small changes in interaction that can reduce conflict and increase feeling understood. These methods are commonly helpful for social anxiety, communication problems, and panic-related avoidance.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will help figure out which techniques match a client’s needs, goals, and comfort with exercises. That choice can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let someone try exposure exercises or communication practice in real-world settings with therapist support.
