Rachel Hedlund , LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Rachel

Rachel Hedlund is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical, evidence-based help. She draws on 12 years of experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and issues like trauma, anger, low self esteem, and ADHD. Rachel meets clients where they are and emphasizes steady, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.

She frames clients as the experts in their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions aim to make problems easier to understand and to practice new ways of coping.

Background and approach

Rachel emphasizes clear goals and simple strategies you can use between meetings. Her background includes long-term clinical work in Georgia and many hours helping people with motivation, confidence, and coping with life changes. That experience guides how she structures sessions and chooses techniques that fit each person.

Rachel also pays attention to concerns specific to veterans and armed forces issues, bringing awareness of those challenges into conversations when relevant. She encourages realistic progress and small wins rather than pressure for dramatic change. New clients are greeted with straightforward explanations and a collaborative plan.

Rachel supports each person in finding tools that work for their day-to-day life and adjusting the plan as needs change.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Many of Rachel's techniques come from evidence-based therapeutic practices that are easy to use in remote sessions. One common approach focuses on practical skills training - teaching specific coping techniques for stress, anxiety, and anger and practicing them during sessions so clients can use them right away in daily life. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which helps people understand how past hurts affect present thinking and feeling and builds small, safe steps to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their needs, goals, and comfort level. This means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and shifting plans when something isn’t helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort zones. That variety lets people keep consistent care while fitting therapy around work, school, or family responsibilities, and makes it easier to continue progress between meetings.
