About Rachel
Dr. Rachel Radin is a CA Psychologist (California Psychologist 30403) with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults around anxiety, mood, eating concerns, and related issues such as stress, relationships, and sleep. Rachel helps people who carry guilt and shame among other concerns, using approaches drawn from cognitive and mindfulness-based therapies.
She earned a Masters and PhD in Clinical and Medical Psychology from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Her pre-doctoral internship in pediatric psychology was at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital, and she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. These roles shaped her work with health-related behavior and eating issues.
Her clinical work includes addressing weight-related eating concerns like binge eating and stress-related eating. She has applied mindfulness and motivational interviewing in brief interventions aimed at reducing stress-related eating. Rachel also brings experience with diabetes management, obesity, chronic health conditions, and developmental issues from her internship work.
In sessions she uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered approaches, and mindfulness therapy. That mix helps people notice patterns, build practical skills, and make values-based choices when they feel stuck.
She collaborates with each person to set goals and practice skills between sessions. People who come for help with self-esteem, grieving, trauma, ADHD, or addiction concerns may find these practical strategies useful for addressing the thoughts and behaviors that keep difficulties in place.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when painful thoughts or guilt appear. ACT is often used for anxiety, depression, and persistent shame-related patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that maintain distress, and it is commonly used for anxiety, mood, and eating concerns. Mindfulness-based methods teach simple attention and awareness skills to reduce reactive behaviors like stress-related eating and to support emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to consider goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That means adapting methods over time and combining strategies so they fit the issue at hand, whether it is worry, eating behavior, or difficulty with self-blame.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, or avoid commuting. Some approaches translate well to brief exercises and between-session practice that can be done between work or family obligations, and therapists can adjust session focus so people can apply skills in everyday life.
