About Rachel

Rachel Palmore is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Alabama with nearly 20 years of experience. She offers a warm, straightforward approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety. Her style aims to help someone feel heard, name what they are struggling with, and find small steps forward.

She combines listening with practical tools. Sessions often focus on noticing feelings, testing new ways of responding, and building routines that reduce daily strain. Rachel encourages self-reflection and personal strengths work so clients can try different behaviors outside sessions.

Her background includes long-term clinical experience across varied settings. That range informs a flexible way of working that adapts to each person's needs. She describes her manner as both empathetic and objective, helping people see options clearly.

Common concerns Rachel addresses include stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, career strain, compassion fatigue, and seasonal affective disorder.

Rachel draws from several approaches: client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She blends these to match what someone wants to change and how they prefer to work.

People who are ready to try a practical, supportive process may find her approach useful. To begin, use the Start Therapy flow to answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to listed availability.

How Rachel uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard, clarifies what matters most to them, and guides decisions about change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses small experiments and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and shift unhelpful patterns.

Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) helps name and work with strong emotions that affect relationships and intimacy. It can be useful for people wanting clearer emotional expression and safer emotional connections.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life context to decide which methods to try. This collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling during work breaks or avoiding travel time. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm current session options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches above to work through stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns in ways that fit everyday routines.
