About Rachel
Rachel Fox is a licensed marriage and family therapist with nine years of experience in clinical settings. She focuses on everyday concerns like relationship strain, depression, trauma and abuse, and managing major life transitions. Rachel frames clients as the experts on their own stories and offers steady support as they make changes.
Rachel uses plain, collaborative language in sessions. She helps people name patterns that cause pain, try small changes, and build on personal strengths. Those who struggle with feelings of isolation, guilt, or codependency can expect direct, practical steps alongside space to process difficult emotions.
Her background includes working with people recovering from post-traumatic stress and compassion fatigue. Rachel blends approaches that address thoughts, bodily reactions, and personal narratives so concerns like social anxiety, communication problems, and narcissistic relational patterns can be handled in multiple ways.
Sessions aim to balance problem-solving with deeper reflection. Clients work on skills such as clearer communication, managing shame, and making choices that match their values. Rachel helps people create realistic plans for change and checks in on progress along the way.
If someone wants help sorting relationship pain, coping with a breakup, or finding purpose after big life shifts, she offers a straightforward partnership. Rachel invites prospective clients to take the first step and explore whether her style feels like a good fit.
Approaches that translate to online work
CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy are often useful in remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reframe their personal stories so they can separate themselves from painful patterns and try new ways of living. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to the effects of traumatic experiences, using careful, paced work to reduce distress and restore a sense of safety and control.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during the day, or making it simpler to join from a quiet location. Licensed professionals can still use written exercises, guided reflections, and behavioral experiments that translate well to remote work without promising a specific format.
