About Rachel
Rachel Allison is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief, sleeping problems, and issues around self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She also lists support for ADHD and for feelings of guilt and shame.
Rachel uses plain, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She focuses on what feels most pressing and helps people notice patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions are conversational and practical, with space to talk through difficult feelings tied to faith, family, or relationships.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to build coping skills, reduce overwhelming reactions, and practice small changes that can make daily life easier. She works with matters such as abandonment, attachment issues, communication problems, and forgiveness in these practical terms.
Rachel often supports people navigating separation or divorce, social anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and loneliness. She pays attention to how relationships and past hurts shape present choices. The overall style is collaborative - deciding together which strategies to try and which problems to prioritize.
People who seek her out are usually looking for clear tools and steady conversation about painful feelings. She invites questions about how therapy will work and what to expect in the first few sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. It is often used for persistent shame, avoidance, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches specific, step-by-step skills to reduce anxiety, panic, and sleep disruption. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lessen reactivity and increase awareness of present-moment experience.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking how they worked, and adjusting the plan together rather than prescribing a single method from the start.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while trying approaches like ACT, CBT, or mindfulness in everyday situations.
