About Rachel

Rachel Young is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 14 years of experience supporting families and individuals. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and anger. Parents often find her approachable when navigating family problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation, or young adult challenges.

She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Rachel leans on solution-focused and client-centered techniques to help people tackle day-to-day problems.

Background and approach

She also draws from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness tools when thinking patterns or mood get in the way. Her background includes work in hospitals, the school system, and community mental health. That variety shaped her into a flexible therapist who adapts to different ages and life stages.

She has experience with trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and self-harm concerns. Sessions aim to be respectful and compassionate. Rachel says she is easy to talk to and tries to make clients comfortable enough to open up.

Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s goals and situation. Parents looking for practical steps and calm guidance will find a focused, down-to-earth approach. Rachel combines problem-solving tools with attention to relationships and emotions.

Approaches that guide online family and individual work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people understand how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. In practice this means looking at patterns in close relationships and trying new ways of connecting that reduce conflict and increase trust.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s pace, helping them name priorities and build on their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Rachel works collaboratively to find the best approach for each person or family. She will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan together with the client.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options let parents and busy adults fit therapy into their schedules without long commutes. Many people find it easier to attend regularly when they can choose the format that suits their life, and therapists can still teach skills, practice new behaviors, and review progress remotely.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
