About Rachael
Rachael Hudson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses a practical, collaborative approach to help people regain a sense of control. She focuses on clear steps and real-world problem solving so people can move forward from stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship strain. Rachael speaks plainly and listens for what has already been tried, then helps build new plans that fit everyday life.
With ten years of experience, Rachael has worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families on a wide range of concerns. These include addictions, parenting struggles, career challenges, and attention-related difficulties. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, codependency, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and questions about life purpose.
Her counseling style is warm and interactive. Sessions typically begin by clarifying the current problem and reviewing steps the person has already taken. From there she helps brainstorm approaches and sets simple goals to work toward between meetings. Progress and next steps are reviewed each session so people can see change over time.
Rachael often uses cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused ideas while staying flexible to match each person’s needs. She is clear about limits to her practice and encourages people to seek specialized help when a concern falls outside her experience. Her main goal is to meet clients where they are and work alongside them to create workable solutions.
To start, Rachael asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on the therapist's availability.
How Rachael’s approaches fit into online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. In practice this means noticing patterns in close connections and trying new ways to relate that feel safer and more satisfying. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses simple skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping with change.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachael will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that match those needs. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps most in sessions and between them.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing care after major life changes and makes it possible to keep progress moving while juggling family, work, or health demands.
