About Racheal

Racheal Adelekan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Nevada who uses a client-centered approach. She focuses on meeting people where they are and tailoring sessions to individual needs. She listens closely and helps set clear, practical goals for changes clients want to make.

She brings nine years of clinical experience to therapy and has worked with a wide range of concerns. Those include stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, addictions, trauma and grief.

Background and approach

She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, anger, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. In session she blends several methods to suit each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.

She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through difficult emotions and practical problems. Racheal works collaboratively to track progress and adjust strategies as needs evolve. People who want to begin can expect focused, practical conversations that connect everyday struggles to clear, doable steps.

Racheal highlights respect, active listening, and steady support throughout the work together.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Racheal commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thinking that affect mood and behavior, and then practice new, more helpful responses. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and everyday parenting stress.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, which teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. DBT skills are often helpful for anger, intense mood swings, and stabilizing reactions during family conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Racheal collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions make this collaborative work more flexible. Video calls offer a live conversation similar to an in-person visit, while phone sessions provide a straightforward option when video isn't convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, skill practice, or support between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy family schedules and keep momentum when life gets hectic.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
