About Racheal

Racheal Adelekan is an LCSW who brings a pragmatic, client-centered orientation to therapy while drawing on cognitive behavioral principles. Licensed in Nevada (NV LCSW 8185-C), she integrates practical interventions with empathic listening to help people clarify goals and build new skills for everyday challenges.

Background and approach

With nine years of clinical work, she has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addiction, trauma and grief, as well as concerns about self-esteem, intimacy, communication, and parenting. Her practice also addresses issues like sleeping and eating difficulties, anger, career transitions, ADHD, forgiveness, and relationship or family tensions.

Therapy with her emphasizes collaboration: she works alongside clients to identify priorities, select appropriate techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT strategies, or motivational interviewing, and track progress over time. She aims to offer consistent respect and compassion while helping clients process difficult emotions and develop concrete coping tools.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Practical Tools



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to practice new skills that reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the person's own goals and values guide the work; this approach supports emotional processing and motivation for change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills in areas such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for strong emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and may combine strategies from these models to fit the situation. This shared decision-making helps ensure the plan feels useful and manageable.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care and practice skills between meetings while accommodating work, family, and geographic constraints.
