About Rachel
Rachel Allison is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, parenting stress, or life changes. Rachel focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier.
She takes a gentle, person-focused approach in sessions. Rachel listens for how a person tells their story and looks for patterns that cause pain. From there she and the client try different ways to respond that match the client’s values and daily life.
Background and approach
Her work draws on Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered methods. That means conversations often examine the stories people carry, clarify personal priorities, and build small behavioral skills to manage symptoms like panic, insomnia, or overwhelm.
Rachel has five years of clinical experience and offers strategies for coping with compassion fatigue, attachment wounds, communication problems, and the fallout of divorce or separation. She also supports people wrestling with shame, loneliness, and issues related to narcissistic relationships. Sessions mix listening with concrete tools such as mindfulness practices, thought-behavior work, and emotion regulation skills.
Rachel aims to help clients notice options where they once felt stuck and to practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

How narrative and ACT approaches work online
Rachel often uses Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in online work. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for alternate storylines that reduce blame and open new possibilities. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values while learning simple mindfulness skills to manage difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to try methods and adjust them based on goals, daily life demands, and what feels useful. Together they’ll test what helps and shift direction when something doesn’t fit.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls let people read body language and hold longer conversations. Phone sessions demand less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, homework, or shorter reflections between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and practice new skills in real time while managing a busy schedule.
