About Rachel

Rachel Wollmann offers support for parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, and grief. She also helps with sleep problems, self-esteem, anger, addictions, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. Rachel is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience and speaks English and Korean.

Rachel creates a calm space where parents and individuals can talk honestly. She focuses on strengths and past successes to build confidence. Conversations are geared toward real change, not just labels.

Background and approach

She also integrates Christian faith into sessions when it fits the client's values. Her style mixes direct listening with practical tools. She draws from client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person.

Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants to make a change but feels stuck. Mindfulness practices and existential questions are used to help people find meaning and cope with anxiety or grief. Rachel also uses EMDR for trauma-related healing when appropriate.

That approach aims to reduce distress linked to painful memories and improve emotional regulation. She explains options clearly and moves at a steady, comfortable pace. Clients can expect a conversational, down-to-earth approach.

Rachel enjoys working across ages and adapts methods to fit each family's rhythm and needs. Sessions are offered in English and Korean to accommodate bilingual households in Hawaii.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. The therapist reflects what the client says, helps clarify values, and builds on existing strengths to address parenting stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used when past memories cause ongoing distress. It aims to reduce the emotional charge of painful memories and can help people move forward after trauma or abuse. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and comfort. Decisions about using EMDR, mindfulness, or motivational techniques are made together and adjusted over time. Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy families. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options help parents and individuals fit therapy into their daily routines and keep continuity of care when schedules change.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
