About Rachel

Rachel Walters is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people move forward after difficult experiences. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Georgia. Her approach is warm and interactive, aimed at building safety and practical coping skills.

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports those coping with life changes like housing instability or financial strain, and addresses issues such as sleep problems, anger, bipolar concerns, and ADHD. LGBT concerns, relationship strain, and family-related struggles are part of her caseload too.

Her sessions emphasize a trauma-informed stance and honor cultural background and individual strengths. She uses gentle, practical methods to help people stabilize day-to-day life and plan for longer-term safety. Sessions typically involve listening, reflection, and concrete skill-building tailored to each person’s needs.

Rachel brings six years of clinical experience and a background in teaching and supervision in social work. That background informs her focus on education, empowerment, and helping clients understand what changes might work for them. She prioritizes clear goals and steady progress.

If someone is dealing with a recent crisis or long-standing wounds, she aims to meet them where they are and shape therapy around their priorities. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Using evidence-based approaches in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify their values and take action toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It can help with anxiety, stress, and coping after trauma by shifting attention toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, letting the person lead the pace while the therapist reflects and supports growth.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s symptoms, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, and client-centered elements over time as needs change.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow short check-ins when needed, and make scheduling around work or school simpler. Licensed professionals can use these methods to help people build coping strategies and practical plans that fit their everyday routines.
