About Rachel

Rachel Walters is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with clinical social work (CSW) credentials and six years of experience. She is based in Georgia and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and family of origin issues. She also addresses challenges like sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and issues common in young adulthood.

Her approach centers on practical, evidence-informed techniques. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and change what matters to them. Sessions are conversational and focused on skills people can use between meetings.

Rachel has experience supporting people dealing with trauma and post-traumatic stress, including recovery after difficult events. She has worked with marginalized youth and young parenting women and has experience teaching and supervising in social work. That background informs how she supports clients through life transitions such as housing or financial instability.

In sessions she will work on concrete goals like managing anxiety, improving sleep, handling anger, and sorting out family of origin patterns that affect current decisions. She also helps people consider life purpose, communication problems, and relationship concerns in a straightforward way.

People can expect a collaborative process where skills practice, values clarification, and narrative work are combined when useful. Rachel uses motivational interviewing to support change and mindfulness techniques to build moment-to-moment awareness. She asks about the real pressures in daily life and helps craft steps that fit each person’s routine.

How Rachel integrates ACT, CBT and client-centered work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that align with those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and testing them with practical experiments and behavioral steps. It helps with mood, sleep, and anxiety management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflection, and building a collaborative relationship so clients can shape goals and pace.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rachel will discuss your goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to use together. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress or new needs appear.

The biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use mindfulness exercises, values work from ACT, and CBT skill practice via phone or video when those formats are supported. Ask about the exact formats offered when you schedule so sessions match your routine and needs.
