About Rachel

Rachel Krueger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Rachel aims to give people a calm space to talk through their problems and to build practical ways to cope.

She listens without judgment and tailors sessions to each person's situation. Conversations cover what matters most to the client and move at a comfortable pace.

Background and approach

The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Rachel uses straightforward tools from evidence-based methods to help with mood, relationships, and life changes. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and on client-centered work to follow what the person needs in the moment.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas help set realistic goals and steps for change. Her work also addresses specific family-related topics such as blended family issues, communication problems, and family of origin concerns. She supports people dealing with mood disorders, seasonal shifts, midlife questions, and early adult transitions.

Rachel helps people find practical ways to manage emotions and improve daily functioning. Sessions can include planning concrete coping strategies, practicing new communication habits, and tracking small changes over time. The approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to what fits each client's life and schedule.

How specific methods translate to online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person's perspective and following their pace. In practice this means the therapist mirrors concerns, asks open questions, and supports the client's own goals. It helps when someone needs space to process feelings and to be heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and behaving. Sessions often include small exercises and practical tools to change daily habits and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions offer a simpler connection, and live chat or text messaging lets people check in between meetings. These options provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels while keeping treatment focused and goal-driven.

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.
