Rachel Hayes, LPC, LCPC

Rachel Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing from Florida. She brings eight years of counseling experience and focuses on stress and anxiety among other concerns. Rachel aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk through what’s overwhelming them and find practical ways forward.

Her approach centers on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and Motivational Interviewing. She blends these methods to match each person's needs. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to clear goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Rachel has worked in a range of settings and with many different concerns, including addiction, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, depression, relationship and intimacy-related struggles, anger, bipolar, and coping with life changes. She also helps people facing family of origin issues, codependency, communication problems, and chronic illness or pain.

In sessions she focuses on practical tools - thought patterns, emotion regulation skills, and techniques to reduce distress. EMDR is offered as one of the tools for trauma-focused work when it fits a person’s needs. Her style is warm and interactive, aiming to balance support with strategies people can use between appointments.

Rachel welcomes people who want steady, goal-oriented help managing stress, anxiety, and related challenges. To begin, follow the site’s sign-up steps to match with her and schedule a session.

How Rachel's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping a person set the pace for change. It’s useful for people who need a steady, respectful space to talk through stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often includes homework such as thought records or behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make day-to-day life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate to choose or combine methods based on a person’s goals, history, and what feels most helpful. That process usually begins with conversation and short goal-setting tasks to see what fits.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to maintain continuity during life transitions.
