Rachel Hodgdon, LPC

Rachel Hodgdon is a Licensed Professional Counselor with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate trauma and abuse, and cope with depression and life changes. Rachel aims to offer calm, straightforward support and to treat each person with respect and sensitivity.

She uses a conversational style in sessions and adapts what she does to each person's needs. That may include tracking thoughts and behaviors, learning coping skills, and practicing new ways of responding to difficult feelings. She emphasizes small, practical steps people can try between appointments.

Her work includes attention to parenting concerns and issues that come up around pregnancy and childbirth. She also helps people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, panic attacks, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Young adults and people facing major life transitions are among the common concerns she sees.

Rachel draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based action despite uncomfortable emotions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns that shape current reactions.

Sessions are offered in English and Rachel accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to use the platform's scheduling tools and matching questionnaire to begin the process.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. That approach is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Techniques may be mixed or adjusted over time as needs and progress become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for consistent check-ins during transitions. They also offer ways to practice skills in everyday settings and to follow up on homework between appointments, helping people apply what they learn to real life.
