About Rachel

Rachel Williams is an LCSW based in Utah who brings three years of clinical practice to her work with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and trauma. She frames care around the whole person, building personalized plans that consider life circumstances and relationship patterns.

Background and approach

Rachel’s approach draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused work, EMDR, mindfulness, and client-centered strategies to address concerns like self-esteem, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and substance use. She combines practical skill-building with attention to emotional experience, helping clients examine patterns that contribute to isolation, codependency, communication problems, and family-of-origin struggles.

Rachel emphasizes collaboration, inviting clients to help shape which techniques and goals feel most useful. Her practice supports people navigating life transitions, recovery from abuse or addiction, and efforts to build self-love and healthier connections.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Rachel integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered techniques into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and mood, and it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current connections, which is useful for addressing intimacy-related problems, codependency, and family of origin issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving clients space to set the pace and goals for their own growth.

Determining the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Rachel works with each person to explore which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting plans as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with her is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to continue care through transitions, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies, emotional processing, and building sustainable coping skills.
