Rachel Palmore, LPC - Therapist in Alabama

About Rachel

Rachel Palmore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama. She draws on about 20 years of clinical work to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting struggles, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Rachel aims to listen without judgment and offer practical steps people can try between sessions.

Her approach is warm and straightforward. She emphasizes reflecting feelings so clients feel heard, then works with them to build skills and small changes.

Background and approach

Rachel uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address unhelpful thoughts and calm overwhelming emotions. She also incorporates emotionally-focused techniques to improve connection and address relational patterns. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or needs to find internal reasons to try new strategies.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness. Rachel has experience with trauma, parenting, adoption and foster care issues, multicultural and discrimination-related concerns, seasonal affective disorder, women’s issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She blends coaching elements for life changes and career concerns when that fits the client’s goals.

People who want a practical, empathic therapist who offers clear tools often find her style helpful. She encourages experimentation and follows the client’s lead while recommending evidence-based techniques suited to the problem at hand.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so the client feels understood; it helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and make their own decisions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, concentrates on emotional experience and attachment needs to improve how people relate and feel understood by others.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that suit those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what actually helps the person in day-to-day life.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow follow-up between sessions via messaging, and let people connect from wherever they are in Alabama. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping skills, practice new responses, and track progress without requiring in-person visits.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
