Dr. Rachel Radin, CA Psychologist 30403

Dr. Rachel Radin is a clinical health psychologist based in California. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core approach and combines it with mindfulness and acceptance-oriented techniques to help adults manage anxiety, mood, and eating concerns. Dr. Radin holds a PhD in Clinical and Medical Psychology and brings eight years of professional experience to her work.

Her background includes a pre-doctoral internship in pediatric psychology at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. Those roles shaped her skills addressing health-related behavior, stress-related eating, and chronic-condition adjustment. Her training emphasized practical strategies drawn from several approaches including client-centered methods and motivational interviewing.

In sessions she focuses on clear, usable tools people can try between meetings. That may mean practicing mindfulness exercises, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, or setting concrete behavior goals. She has a particular interest in weight-related eating concerns such as binge eating and stress-related eating, and in supporting people facing mood disorders, anxiety, and relationship or self-esteem struggles.

Dr. Radin also works with issues related to attachment, body image, caregiver stress, and co-occurring conditions. Her clinical experience includes supporting people with neurodevelopmental considerations and with complex medical or behavioral health needs. She adapts techniques to each person's situation and preferences.

Therapy is offered in English and delivered online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Dr. Radin is licensed in California as CA Psychologist 30403 and brings an applied, practical style to therapy.

Online approaches that teach skills and awareness

Dr. Radin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thinking patterns that drive distress and to build new behaviors that reduce symptoms. CBT focuses on concrete steps and practice between sessions and suits problems like anxiety, mood difficulties, and many eating concerns.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and respond differently to painful thoughts and feelings, and on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in the person's goals and perspective. ACT supports living with difficult emotions without getting stuck, while client-centered work keeps the pace and focus matched to the individual.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques together, and adjust approaches based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and aligned with their needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill coaching, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins or days with less time, and text messaging supports ongoing questions or prompts between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches described above.
