About Rachel
Rachel Anauo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 15 years of experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and challenges tied to self-esteem and intimacy. Sessions also address career shifts, compassion fatigue, and family of origin issues.
Rachel blends practical talk and structured techniques to help people manage distress and make changes that matter day to day. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness methods are offered to build calm attention and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are weighing change, including substance use and other habits.
Her work includes narrative and solution-focused tools to clarify priorities and sketch small steps forward. In sessions clients can expect clear goal-setting, reflection on patterns from their upbringing, and concrete coping skills to try between meetings. Rachel notes family of origin issues when early patterns still shape current choices and relationships.
Her Christian values shape how she listens and talks about purpose and meaning when clients raise those topics. She presents options rather than prescriptions and supports each person in choosing what aligns with their beliefs and life.
Rachel practices in New York and conducts work in English. People interested in starting are asked to follow the site's matching and scheduling process to set up an initial session.
How her methods translate to online work
Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on clear goals, practical exercises, and homework between meetings to build new habits.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Motivational Interviewing appears when someone is weighing change; it is a collaborative conversation to strengthen motivation and plan next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will discuss these methods with each person and recommend or adjust techniques based on goals, preferences, and what feels manageable in daily life. That discussion is collaborative and revisited as needed.
