Dr. Rachel Radin , CA Psychologist 30403

Dr. Rachel Radin is a licensed clinical health psychologist in California (CA Psychologist 30403) with eight years of clinical experience treating adults who struggle with anxiety, mood, and eating concerns. She completed a Masters and PhD in Clinical and Medical Psychology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland, and furthered her clinical training with a pre-doctoral internship in pediatric psychology at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital.

Throughout her training in the DC/Metro area and subsequent work, she developed strong skills in cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, and psychodynamic approaches, and expanded her repertoire to include mindfulness-based techniques and motivational interviewing during a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. At UCSF she designed a brief intervention aimed at reducing stress-related eating in adults using mindfulness and motivational strategies.

Her clinical interests include weight-related eating concerns such as binge eating and stress-related eating, as well as broader areas like stress, relationships, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep difficulties, addictive behaviors, and neurodevelopmental and mood disorders. Dr. Radin integrates evidence-informed methods to address both psychological symptoms and health-related behaviors, tailoring care to each adult's needs without implying current availability for new clients.

Approaches and Benefits of Online Therapeutic Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that interfere with meaningful life goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and mood regulation by teaching practical skills for managing symptoms.

Mindfulness-based techniques teach present-moment awareness and self-compassion, offering tools to reduce automatic reactions to stress and to support healthier relationships with food and emotion.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Radin works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and to adapt methods over time so that treatment fits each individual. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different approaches to tailor care.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging increases flexibility and access to care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across locations, and select communication formats that suit different comfort levels and daily routines.
