About Rachel
Rachel Knuehl is a licensed professional clinical counselor who helps parents, caregivers, children, and teens facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. She writes and speaks plainly in sessions so people can understand next steps. She focuses on practical tools to manage strong emotions and improve daily functioning.
Rachel holds the LPCC credential - licensed professional clinical counselor - and practices in Kentucky. Her approach centers on clear, evidence-based techniques.
Background and approach
She uses methods developed for trauma and parent-child work to address attachment concerns and communication problems. Sessions often include skill practice, behavior strategies, and ways to reduce overwhelm at home. Rachel also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and body image concerns.
She brings 11 years of experience to assessments and ongoing care. That time includes work with mood disorders, dissociation, posttraumatic stress, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder. Rachel aims to help clients develop coping plans they can use between sessions.
Progress is measured in small, practical steps rather than jargon. In meetings she attends to each person’s history and daily routine. She helps identify patterns that make life harder and teaches alternatives that fit family life.
Parents and caregivers often leave with concrete strategies for behavior, communication, and emotional regulation. Her practice supports people in Kentucky and sessions are offered in English. Rachel emphasizes collaboration and gradual change so families can build stability over time.
Therapeutic approaches for parenting and trauma online
Rachel uses trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy to help people name and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors after traumatic events. This approach breaks problems into small steps and teaches skills for managing stress and intrusive memories.She also uses parent-child interaction therapy, which focuses on improving the relationship between caregivers and children through coached interactions. That method helps with behavior challenges, attachment issues, and communication at home.
Deciding which approach to use is a team effort between the therapist and the client. Rachel will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what works best for each person and family. The process is collaborative and meant to fit the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy families. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and school, and they let caregivers and teens access help from home. The range of formats also allows the therapist to use skills coaching, observe interactions, and offer real-time feedback in ways that suit different families.
