Rachel Walters, LCSW, CSW - Therapist in Georgia

About Rachel

Rachel Walters is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people manage stress and life changes. She blends clear tools with supportive listening so conversations stay focused and useful. Rachel holds LCSW licensure and draws on six years of hands-on practice to guide each session.

Her approach centers on helping clients notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful patterns.

Background and approach

Sessions also include client-centered listening and mindfulness strategies to calm anxiety and improve focus. Rachel has experience addressing a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar challenges, ADHD, sleep problems, anger, and compassion fatigue. She also works on relationship and family matters, communication problems, and issues related to life purpose and young adulthood.

Her style is compassionate and nonjudgmental. She aims to create a straightforward space where clients can talk through problems, learn coping skills, and plan practical next steps. Rachel incorporates trauma-informed thinking into treatment plans and pays attention to each person’s strengths.

Outside of direct therapy she has taught and supervised others in social work, bringing that background into sessions through clear explanations and educational tools. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their timing.

How Rachel’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck and then take small steps toward what matters. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to clarify values and plan practical actions for everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. In video or chat sessions clients learn concrete tools for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing mood changes through homework and skill practice. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience through empathic listening and respect. This approach creates room to process trauma, life transitions, and relationship concerns while the therapist follows the client’s lead. Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist works with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals, preferences, and the problem they want to address. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work when that is helpful. Phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide shorter or more frequent check-ins and make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. These options help maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
