Rachel Clement, LSCSW

Rachel Clement is a licensed social worker who uses practical therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She works with adults who are struggling with relationship worries, parenting strain, grief, and major life changes. Rachel holds an LSCSW, which stands for Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker, and she brings five years of professional experience to sessions.

She favors an approach that focuses on clear, usable skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common part of her work, helping people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships.

Sessions are shaped around each person. Rachel listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. She uses mindfulness techniques when stress or overwhelm is high, and she may include trauma-focused methods when past hurt is getting in the way of daily life.

Her background includes supporting people through parenting challenges, postpartum depression, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver stress. She also helps with issues like self-esteem, feeling empty, communication problems, and recovering from sexual assault or other abuse.

Rachel aims for straightforward, respectful conversations. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and builds practical tools clients can use between sessions. Taking a first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support throughout the process.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Rachel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that fit well into remote sessions and short between-session check-ins.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how past connections shape current trust and closeness. This approach helps when relationship worry or caregiving stress causes repeated conflict or feeling disconnected.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort, and the problems they want to address. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility that supports this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and EMDR-informed processing when appropriate. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, mood tracking, or homework prompts between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between visits.
