Rachel Garry , LPC

Rachel Garry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience across a variety of care settings. She has provided counseling in a family counseling center, an outpatient hospital, and at a community college, working with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, addiction and substance abuse, career and educational decisions, and family concerns.

Rachel practices from a client-centered perspective, prioritizing each person's individual needs and preferences when shaping the therapeutic process. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness techniques, collaborating with clients to determine which methods will be most helpful for their goals.

Her work emphasizes practical skills and personal insight to address relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and family problems, mood disorders including bipolar concerns, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Rachel views therapy as a collaborative effort and considers it a privilege to support clients as they work toward feeling better and moving forward.

Collaborative approaches for online counseling

Rachel uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client's priorities guide each session. This approach focuses on active listening, empathy, and collaboration to help people clarify goals and identify the most useful next steps. It is often helpful for those working through family issues, life transitions, or questions about purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another frequent component of her practice. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to shift them. It is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, sleeping difficulties, and stress-related concerns.

Mindfulness techniques are integrated to help clients increase present-moment awareness and coping skills. These practices can support emotion regulation, attention, and management of cravings or impulsive responses.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy sessions can be conducted via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into daily life and to maintain momentum between sessions. Please note that Rachel Garry is not currently accepting new clients.
