About Rachel
Rachel Hayes is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LCPC, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, with eight years working as a counselor. She focuses on depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, addictions, eating and intimacy-related issues, and other stress-related struggles. Rachel practices in Florida and offers services in English, and she accepts international clients.
Rachel uses client-centered work alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and motivational interviewing when those methods fit the situation. In sessions she talks through patterns that repeat from family of origin and attachment experiences, and she addresses problems such as codependency, abandonment worries, and blended family dynamics.
Her style is interactive and practical. Conversations often include skills practice, looking at unhelpful thoughts, and learning ways to manage intense feelings. For people dealing with eating or body image concerns, sessions may blend behavioral steps with attention to underlying attachment or emotional triggers.
Rachel has worked in a range of settings, including inpatient and outpatient care. That background informs how she supports people facing co-occurring issues like substance use, chronic illness, or mood disorders. She uses what fits for each person rather than a single method.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and clarifies goals so practical steps can follow. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and eating-related behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss methods and help decide what fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can adapt as goals change over time.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Different approaches lend themselves to different session activities - for example, CBT sessions often include homework and skill practice, while EMDR requires focused processing and planning - and the therapist will explain what to expect for each method during the first appointments.
