About Rachel
Rachel DeVita is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire with 13 years of experience. She sees adults for a range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and issues tied to the family they grew up in. Sessions address both immediate problems and patterns that repeat across relationships and roles.
She uses straightforward, talk-based work alongside practical skills. That includes cognitive-behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, DBT skills for emotion regulation, and solution-focused steps to try between sessions. Rachel also incorporates mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and attention training when helpful.
Rachel has worked in community and residential settings and has experience with people facing substance use concerns, first responder stress, pregnancy and childbirth adjustments, and grief. She supports people affected by physical trauma or emotional abuse and those coping with panic, ADHD, or workplace strain.
In sessions she leans on Client-Centered Therapy principles to keep discussions focused on what matters to each person. That means listening for patterns from childhood or family of origin issues and connecting them to current struggles. She combines that with goal-oriented CBT and solution-focused steps to make therapy practical.
Practical matters are part of the work. Rachel asks about what changes a person wants and sets small, testable steps to try between sessions. She also addresses communication problems, forgiveness work, and self-esteem building when those come up.
How her approaches are used in online work
Rachel commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can identify what matters to them and notice recurring family patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when emotion regulation or strong reactivity are an issue. DBT provides concrete tools for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when family roles or relationship conflict are causing repeated problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process that combines listening about family history with practical skill-building and small experiments between sessions.
