About Rachel
LICSW in Alabama with three years of clinical experience, Rachel Garrett focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and related life challenges. She uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused work to help people manage symptoms and daily demands. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and aim to address practical concerns like parenting strain, relationship issues, grief, and burnout.
Rachel trained with a Master of Social Work from Troy University and holds the Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential, LICSW. Her background includes work in Child Abuse and Neglect with the Department of Human Resources, juvenile justice, correctional settings with incarcerated adults, and inpatient geriatric psychiatry. Those roles shaped a practical approach to crisis moments and long-term change.
In sessions she uses client-centered methods to understand a person’s goals and experiences first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness when stress and anger feel overwhelming.
Rachel also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques for shorter-term problem solving and building coping skills. She works with concerns including parenting, intimacy and relationship issues, self-esteem, postpartum struggles, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas include aging and geriatric issues, blended family dynamics, body image, eating-related problems, and life purpose questions.
Conversations are practical and down-to-earth. People can expect active listening, clear steps to try between sessions, and a focus on measurable changes. To begin, use the platform’s matching steps to schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. In practice this means sessions focus on goals the person brings and on building a working plan together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical skills for regulating strong emotions, managing anger, and improving relationships. Finding the best approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaboration guides whether more CBT skills, DBT techniques, mindfulness practices, or solution-focused steps are emphasized. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as format details are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow quicker check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use shorter sessions or schedule appointments around work and caregiving responsibilities.
