01About Rachel
Rachel Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing addiction, trauma, mood struggles, and relationship stress. She works with people who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, eating concerns, anger, bipolar symptoms, or major life changes. Rachel uses clear, conversational therapy to help clients find workable steps forward.
Rachel draws on eight years of counseling experience. She has helped people dealing with substance and alcohol problems, eating and body-image issues, and the effects of past abuse.
Background and approach
Her background also includes efforts to address attachment wounds, codependency, blended family strain, and communication problems. Her approach blends client-centered conversation with cognitive-behavioral tools and elements of dialectical behavior strategies. Rachel may also use EMDR or motivational interviewing when those methods fit a person’s needs.
Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking patterns, and coping strategies that can be used between appointments. Rachel aims to make therapy collaborative. She listens first, then helps set goals and small steps that match each person’s situation.
She explains ideas plainly and checks in on progress as work continues. Therapy is offered in English and is available to people in Florida and beyond. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what works best for their schedule and routines.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person at the center of sessions by focusing on listening and building a trusting connection. Online, this looks like space to tell your story, set goals, and shape the work together with a therapist who follows your lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions CBT can include brief exercises, thought records, and homework you can try between meetings to change patterns that feed anxiety or depression.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize conversational, skills-based, or trauma-focused work and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face to face when a fuller conversation is useful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when someone is on the move. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quicker check-ins, short skill practice, or people who prefer typing over talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work focused on measurable steps and everyday coping skills.
