Rachel Black, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Rachel

Rachel Black is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 20 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what feels hardest. Parents and individuals worried about parenting, grief, addictions, or sleep problems can expect calm, practical support.

Rachel practices in Florida and works in English. Her sessions focus on everyday changes and real problems. She blends attachment-based ideas with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT.

Background and approach

That means she pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and then teaches hands-on skills to manage emotions and behaviors. Rachel uses a client-centered stance. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and follows the pace the person sets.

Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help with stress, racing thoughts, and grounding during difficult moments. Over two decades she has worked with people dealing with trauma, grief, self-esteem, parenting struggles, chronic illness, and issues around control and codependency. She also helps with career transitions, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and eating or hoarding concerns when they come up in therapy.

Practical details are discussed up front. Rachel offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Rachel’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships and early bonds affect current feelings and behaviors. Online sessions explore those patterns and work to build more trusting connections and clearer ways of relating to others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. In remote sessions Rachel helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical exercises to change thinking and behavior, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Rachel discusses options and tailors methods to each person’s goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts pace and techniques as therapy unfolds so the plan stays relevant.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face, phone sessions work when screens aren’t convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or timing that fits parenting and work demands. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily responsibilities.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
