About Rachel

Dr. Rachel Radin brings a cognitive behavioral therapy-informed approach to clinical work, combining it with mindfulness and client-centered principles to address anxiety, mood, and eating concerns.

Background and approach

She is a licensed psychologist in California (CA Psychologist 30403) and integrates evidence-informed strategies drawn from her doctoral training and subsequent clinical roles. Dr.

Radin's background includes work on stress-related eating and binge eating, as well as broader mood and anxiety challenges, with attention to how health and life circumstances shape behavior and emotional patterns.

Her training path includes a PhD in Clinical and Medical Psychology from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, a pre-doctoral internship in pediatric psychology at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco.

These experiences contributed to her use of mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and behavioral strategies alongside cognitive work. Dr.

Radin emphasizes practical skills to manage stress, improve sleep, and address body-image and eating-related concerns while supporting clients through grief, relationship strain, and life transitions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Radin often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical behavioral strategies; this approach is commonly applied to anxiety, mood, and eating-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used alongside CBT to encourage values-based action and to cultivate willingness to experience difficult emotions while pursuing meaningful goals. Client-centered therapy provides a supportive, empathic stance that prioritizes the client's perspective and helps create a collaborative space for change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to weigh their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, and may blend elements from different methods to tailor an individualized plan. This collaborative process aims to find techniques that feel useful and sustainable for the client's daily life.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from California and offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and health obligations.
